A unique
tribute exhibition
The world’s most exciting interior design company! Antikmässan in collaboration with Swedish Tenn expert Jenny von Platen.

Firma Svenskt Tenn turns 100 years old in 2024 and we at Antikmässan want to celebrate it properly! In collaboration with Jenny von Platen, we are therefore organizing a spectacular and unique tribute exhibition at Stockholmsmässan on March 7-10th.
The story of Firma Svenskt Tenn is above all a story about Swedish design, but it is also about women’s entrepreneurship at a time when women had recently gained the right to vote and about what it was like to live and work in Europe during wartime.
The founder of Svenskt Tenn, Estrid Ericson, was a successful entrepreneur and an exciting designer. She was inspired by art and culture from all over the world and presented objects and interiors in a way that had not been done before. Her success was also due to the Austrian architect Josef Frank, whom she brought to Svenskt Tenn in 1934, and who designed elegant furniture and colorful fabric patterns with a sure hand. Together they created their own style that was in a class of its own, even internationally. And which was also a vitamin injection for the, at that time, cautiously bright and cool Swedish interior design ideal.
The exhibition at this year’s Antkmässa is unique. We show many older objects, such as early pewter from the 1920s and 30s, unusual furniture models and fabric patterns. You can also experience the National Museum Cabinet and the Liljevalch Sofa, two famous pieces of furniture designed by Josef Frank in the 1930s. Most of the objects in the exhibition have not been in production for many years and rarely appear on the second-hand market. They are on loan from exhibitors at Antikmässan, from private individuals and from Svenskt Tenn.
Don’t miss the chance to experience Estrid Ericson and Josef Frank’s success story Svenskt Tenn in a whole new way!
