Ein Buch über das Spätwerk des österreichischen Architekten, Designers und Theoretikers Josef Frank, dessen wegweisende Arbeiten nicht zuletzt durch die erfolgreiche Ausstellung im Wiener MAK neues Interesse wecken. Josef Frank gilt als bedeutender Vordenker der Moderne und zugleich als scharfzüngiger Kritiker ihrer Dogmatik. Mit seinen unkonventionellen Entwürfen prägte er nicht nur die Wiener Kultur am Anfang des vorigen Jahrhunderts, sondern auch den „skandinavischen Stil". Ab Mitte der 1930er Jahre lebte Frank vorwiegend in Schweden. Hier arbeitete er für die bis heute erfolgreich produzierende Firma Svenskt Tenn, die den überwiegenden Teil seiner Entwürfe noch im Programm führt und sein gestalterisches Erbe wach hält. Der Schwerpunkt des bibliophilen Buches liegt auf dem Spätwerk Franks: vorgestellt werden seine späten, nicht realisierten Bauprojekte sowie seine zeitlosen Möbel und Stoffentwürfe.

A book about the late oeuvre of the Austrian architect, designer and theorist Josef Frank, whose seminal work has generated new interest following the successful exhibition at the MAK in Vienna. Josef Frank is seen as an important visionary at the early stages of the Moderne movement and an outspoken critic of its dogmatism. With his unconventional designs he not only left his mark on Viennese culture at the beginning of the previous century, but also influenced the "Scandinavian style". From the mid-1930s, Frank lived predominantly in Sweden. There he worked for the Svenskt Tenn company, which still maintains the largest part of his designs in its range<A></A>. This bibliophilic book introduces Frank’s late, unbuilt building projects, as well as his timeless furniture and fabric designs.
