Bio:
Wilhelm Kåge (1889–1960) was a Swedish ceramicist, designer and artist who played a central role in the development of Swedish ceramic design during the 20th century. He joined Gustavsberg in 1917, creating both artistic ceramics and functional objects. His early work reflected the decorative movements of the period, including Art Deco, with stylised ornamentation and elegant forms. Kåge later became particularly renowned for his Argenta and Farsta ceramic series and is regarded as one of Swedens most influential ceramic designers.
