Wilhelm Kåge and Stig Lindberg (right), Gustavsberg, ca 1938"Lumavision"Spisa Ribb
Stig Lindberg (17 August 1916 – 7 April 1982) was a Swedish ceramic designer, glass designer, textile designer, industrial designer, painter, teacher, and illustrator. One of Sweden's most important postwar designers, Lindberg created whimsical studio ceramics and graceful tableware lines during a long career with the Gustavsberg pottery factory.
In 1937, he went to work at Gustavsberg Fabriker under Wilhelm Kåge. In 1949, he was named Kåge's successor as art director.[2][3] From this period until he left Gustavsberg in 1980, he designed individual ceramic items, as well as factory produced ranges and lines of dinnerware. He achieved fame for his eccentric forms and whimsical decoration.
From 1957 until 1970, he was a head teacher at Konstfack.[1]
Lindberg's work can be found in museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago,[4] and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.[5] His work was featured in a posthumous exhibition at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, from 11 May 2006 to 25 February 2007.
