Ye Olde School Textiles

Josef Frank, Swedish textile guru extraordinaire, has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Working in the early 20th century, his fantastical prints and vibrant colors have definitely stood the test of time.

Mind you, I do think that if you used too many Josef Frank textiles around the house you might have to be committed.






This Anthropologie sofa is upholstered in this wild Josef Frank pattern.






I have enough of this fabric to make 3 pillows. That's my next pillow extravaganza.




The following textiles are via Interiors Etc.


An option for you multi-color-phobic friends. And there are a lot of you out there.



Who needs Google maps? It's Josef maps.


Kind of 70's. The man was ahead of his time.

Happy Josef Frank Hump Day! (only a bank and postal holiday)
