‘Captures the brand’s aesthetic brilliance and radical ethos – where beauty, ecology, and purpose go hand in hand.’ – Vogue ‘A 400-page gambol through the company’s archives … a colourful, esoteric world governed by good taste and considered flashes of maximalism’ – Financial Times A special survey published to celebrate 100 years of the influential and innovative Swedish design company Svenskt TennIn 1924, the pioneering designer and entrepreneur Estrid Ericson founded Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Sweden. Initially a workshop and retail store dedicated to pewter, Svenskt Tenn’s range was quickly expanded by Ericson into one of the most successful home furnishings and interior design companies of the twentieth century.Svenskt Tenn: Interiors celebrates the legacy of the company’s first 100 years, while also marking its position at the forefront of interior design today. Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, the book delves into the story of Ericson and the company she grew, examining her creative relationship with acclaimed Austrian designer Josef Frank, whose magnificent, boldly patterned textiles and furniture helped define Svenskt Tenn’s distinct aesthetic.Pages of colourful imagery, including never-before-seen photographs and drawings from Svenskt Tenn’s archive, reveal an immaculate selection of classic objects, furniture, and textiles, alongside examples of collaborations with contemporary designers including Michael Anastassiades, Lars Nilsson, Luca Nichetto, Ingegerd Råman, and Fornasetti. Designed by the Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom, Svenskt Tenn: Interiors shows how the iconic Swedish brand continues to create objects of the highest quality to improve and enhance everyday life.

"Det som gör Ulrica Sieverts bok På jakt efter Josef Frank så intressant är att den både beskriver Josef Franks personliga öde och hur det är kopplat till den europeiska historien."

Nina Asarnoj, P1 Kultur

”På jakt efter Josef Frank är en läsupplevelse. /.../ "Det är främst det dubbla perspektivet med klassisk biografi kombinerat med djupdykning i breven som ger berättandet ett extra sug. Epoken som skildras är dessutom oerhört intressant, både när det gäller arkitektur och formgivning samt utvecklingen i stort med en framväxande demokrati i Europa och två världskrig."

Mats Wickman, SvD

Josef Frank är en av våra mest kända och älskade formgivare. Han föddes i Österrike där han var verksam som tongivande arkitekt, men tvingades lämna allt när hemlandet blev annekterat av nazisterna. Här blev han snabbt känd för sitt samarbete med Estrid Ericson på inredningsfirman Svenskt Tenn, vilket resulterade i en unik inredningsstil som idag betraktas som något typiskt svenskt.

Men bakom framgångssagan och de färgglada fantasifulla floramönstren döljer sig en dramatisk och gripande livshistoria och en sammansatt person, som både är en centralgestalt i svensk kulturhistoria och en outsider som aldrig fick det erkännande han önskade.

Ulrica Sievert har tidigare skrivit en bok om Josef Franks akvareller, men det är som om han vägrar släppa taget – någon vecka efter lanseringen dyker det upp en låda med hundratals brev som leder allt djupare in i berättelsen om människan bakom ikonen Josef Frank.

Här anas Franks röst och möjliga svar på många av frågorna hon ställt sig: Om hans syn på Sverige och hur han blev behandlad när han kom hit på 30-talet. Hur han upplevde åren i exil i New York under andra världskriget, långt borta från judiska släktingar och familjen som försvann. Hur det kändes att inte längre få några arkitektuppdrag. Vad han egentligen tyckte om Estrid Ericson. Och om den livslånga relationen till sin frus kusin Dagmar Grill.

Genom Frank gestaltas också sökandet efter identitet och tillhörighet samt den kreativa drivkraften som ett sätt att hitta pauser i en verklighet som annars blir svår att uthärda. En skildring av en människa som med krass humor och intensiv skaparkraft försöker finna distans, hopp och skönhet i en bitvis grym värld som har många likheter med vår samtid.

Giant, technologically superior aliens have conquered Earth, but humankind survives - even flourishes in a way. Men and women live, like mice, in burrows in the massive walls of the huge homes of the aliens, and scurry about under their feet, stealing from them. A complex social and religious order has evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as healers, and men serving as warriors and thieves.For the aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, nothing more than vermin. Which, ironically, may just be humankind's strength and point the way forward.

TennCare and Disproportionate Share Hospitals

The economic recession and the rising healthcare costs experienced by many states in the U.S. is leading us towards the enactment of legislation that will reform the way that healthcare is provided and paid for within the individual states. TennCare was developed in Tennessee as a bold healthcare reform strategy that would simultaneously contain rapidly rising Medicaid costs while expanding insurance for a large, uninsured Tennessee population.The implementation of TennCare in January 1994 instituted the move of Tennessee's Medicaid patients into managed care health plans. This study describes the design, rationale, implementation strategy, and issues of the reform program, as well as offering in depth insight regarding the effects of the reform strategy on disproportionate share hospitals, i.e. hospitals that serve a large portion of Medicaid and uninsured patients. Data spanning ten years of pre- and post-Tenncare were analyzed to determine the effects of TennCare on the hospitals. Dr. Ogbonna provides a template for dealing with policy, managerial, and administrative issues of rising healthcare costs in Tennessee and the nation in general.

A history of the struggle among competing stakeholders in one of the oldest and most controversial experiments in US health care policy, a precursor to Obamacare. In 1993, Tennessee launched a reform initiative designed to simultaneously expand the proportion of residents with health insurance and curtail cost increases. It was guided by principles that nearly match those that guided the creation of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Like the ACA, TennCare used corporations, rather than a single government payer, to implement the plan and it relied on a mix of managed care, market competition and government regulation.While many states cut back on their Medicaid enrollments from 1993 to 2001, TennCare grew from 750,000 to 1.47 million enrollees. The state was less successful in controlling costs, however. Each major stakeholder group (the state, the managed care organisations, the providers and the enrollees and their advocates) pushed back against parts of the state's strategy that adversely affected their interests and they eventually dismantled the mechanisms of cost constraint.The author lays out the four stakeholder perspectives for each period in the history of TennCare and provides a link to difficult-to-access primary documents.
