Rug Frank No. 20

Rug Frank No. 20, originally designed in the 1930s–1940s, was introduced to Svenskt Tenn’s range for the first time in celebration of its centenary in 2024. The decorative pattern, featuring rings and dots in a variety of colours, beautifully reflects Josef Frank’s approach to rug design—often inspired by stone-paved terraces adorned with abstract motifs.

The production at Hitex is conducted on a small-scale, with a focus on exclusive, high-quality custom orders.
