Nothing says spring quite like the exuberant botanical prints of Josef Frank, the legendary Austrian-born architect, artist, and designer who emigrated to Sweden in the 1930s.
Frank's fabrics, which feature surreal interpretations of nature, are still printed at the original factory in Sweden and sold through Stockholm-based Svenskt Tenn. In the US, his wallpaper and fabrics are available through Just Scandinavian in New York City.
