In 1934, Ericson hired Frank to Svenskt Tenn, and the professional pair soon garnered international attention with exhibitions at the Paris and New York World Fairs. After 80 years, the company is still synonymous with Swedish modern design.

“We are immensely proud and delighted over Thames & Hudson’s decision to feature Svenskt Tenn in a coloring book,” says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. “The book Swedish Modern lets you enjoy Svenskt Tenn interiors in a new, innovative fashion.
