Dark tones for the dining room

A muted colour scheme, checks and bamboo, are key elements in this autumn dining room at Svenskt Tenn. Tall candlesticks, textiles and a striking table setting, contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere in the room.

Placemats in Josef Frank’s Teheran fabric, designed in the 1940s.

Placemat Textile Teheran

Black doesn’t have to be boring

We have decorated the autumn dining room with classic furniture by Josef Frank: Chair 2025 in black lacquered birch and bamboo, as well as Dining Table 884 with a tabletop in lacquered linoleum and walnut. The furniture is accompanied by a table setting in a muted colour scheme, with placemats in the Teheran pattern, Fornasetti saucers, and blue-green hand-blown water glasses beautifully shaped like a tulip.

Bamboo table lamp

Josef Frank probably created the Bamboo Table Lamp for Svenskt Tenn in the 1940s or 1950s – a period when he designed several objects with Asian influences, including the tall Bamboo candle holder in 1952.
