Josef Frank is an Austrian-Swedish architect and designer, who was known for his innovative designs and distinct patterns. Born July 15th 1885 in Baden bei Wien he helped found the Vienna School of Architecture.

“In honoring architect Josef Frank, we’re continuing a tradition of celebrating individuals from all walks of life who have had a lasting impact on people around the world,”Anne Baxter from Google Australia told the Brisbane Times.
