Josef Frank Brass "Dressing Lamp" with Floral Printed Shade

Description
Perfectly modern! Brass model 2332 "dressing table" lamp designed by Josef Frank in 1932, produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden, C. 1960s. This one is extra-special with the original pleated shade in an abstract floral print by Josef Frank; some slight fading but it is absolutely fantastic. This is a little gem of a lamp.

Artist: Josef Frank was born in Austria and studied architecture in Vienna. As an architect, he worked with private home areas, villas, and apartment buildings. In 1925 he started his own interior design firm Haus und Garten together with two architect colleagues. In connection with the advance of the Nazis, he emigrated to Sweden and was employed in 1934 at Svenskt Tenn. After the outbreak of World War II, Josef Frank, who came from a Jewish family, was forced into exile in New York. At Svenskt Tenn, he made an impact on the product range for four decades; especially when it comes to furniture and fabric prints.
