Svenskt Tenn
For the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2011, Monica Förster and Björn Kusoffsky was invited to make their personal interpretation of Svenskt Tenn.
Using the pattern Marble 4420 by Josef Frank as a starting point. The Marble 4420 pattern, which is radically different from the typical Frank flowery patterns, is said to have been sketched when Josef Frank had encountered the art of Jackson Pollock, during this stay in New York in the 1940s. Monica Förster and Björn Kusoffsky was inspired by the pattern to create a 3D installation with handmade artifacts and a film which explores the depths of Josef Frank’s world of patterns.
