Bio:
Stig Lindberg was one of the most influential Swedish designers of the 20th century and worked for Gustavsberg for more than thirty years. His output ranges from functional tableware to whimsical and sculptural objects, characterised by organic forms, strong colour sensibility, and a distinctive sense of humour. The naturalistic serving dishes produced during the 1960s and 1970s are today regarded as some of his most iconic and collectible designs.
