Svenskt Tenn’s Archive and Collections
The archive and collections forms a separate department at Svenskt Tenn. Here, curators and archivists work to preserve and manage the company's rich archive, which includes not only drawings and sketches but also pattern designs, letters, notes, and photographs. Original pieces and purchased items from founder Estrid Ericson's time are also preserved. With new collaborations and launches, new information and stories emerge, making the archive a living place that safeguards the company's history, present, and future.
Every year, Svenskt Tenn launches new furniture and items. Some result from collaborations with contemporary designers, while others are recreated from archive designs. In 2024, the jubilee year, five such pieces are being launched – a blend of designs that have never been shown before and beloved classics now brought back to life.
