■ Stig Lindberg (1916-1982)
Born in Umeå, a city in northern Sweden. After studying painting at Konstfack, the capital Stockholm, he joined Gustavsberg in 1937. Twelve years later, in 1949, he succeeded Koge as the company's art director. Since then, Lindberg has released numerous works as a standard-bearer of Swedish modernism in the middle of the 20th century. The Gustavsberg company in the era when Lindberg was active reached its heyday, and even now the works of that time are recognized as the work of the golden age called "mid-century" and have high value. Gustavsberg had an in-house atelier called G-Studion, separate from the mass-produced line, where young artists such as Lisa Larson worked to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. Lindberg has also produced many atelier works by exercising his skills with young artists. Lindberg retired from the front line in 1980 and opened a workshop in Italy where he retired, but died two years later.
