Josef Frank (Austrian German: [fraŋk]; 15 July 1885 – 8 January 1967) was an Austrian and later Swedish, architect, artist, and designer. Together with Oskar Strnad, he created the Vienna School of Architecture, and its concept of Modern houses, housing and interiors. After leaving Austria due to rising antisemitism, Josef Frank started working at Swedish interior design store Svenskt Tenn in 1934,[1] where he became a key figure in shaping the company's design identity. He is today considered one of the most important Swedish designers.[2]
