As promised, here are some photos from the Josef Frank exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London. I am so glad I went to see this exhibition, I’ve had a reminder in my calendar for months. So if you’re in London and you’re interested in pattern or surface design, don’t miss it.
Seeing all these different designs together, I think you can really see how big an influence Josef Frank has had on the design you can find at IKEA.
I’m not going to say a whole lot, the beautiful work will speak for itself, I think! If you want to know more about Josef Frank, check out this Wikipedia article. There’s also this article on the Guardian website and they have a photo gallery as well.
Josef Frank did lovely watercolors of still lifes, especially flowers, and of landscapes. Most of these have not been exhibited before.
