    Svenskt Tenn

    Posted by grahamwhite 9 April 2006

    Classic interior design store on Strandvagen, Sweden's elegant waterfront boulevard. Founded in 1924 by Estrid Ericson, an art teacher and pewter designer (Svenskt Tenn means Swedish pewter), it's home to an amazingly eclectic mix of classic furniture, lamps and porcelain.

    Austere modernism clashes with Swedish bourgeois cosiness, often to startling effect.

    Ericson collaborated for many years with Austrian designer Joseph Frank. His exuberant and sumptuous textiles are the highlight.

    Bring home a Frank cushion, an Ericson pewter jug or a quirky candleholder.

    In November 2005 a Svenskt Tenn shop opened in Liberty's in London - but don't miss the original.
