Stig Lindberg
Stig Lindberg (1916-1982)
Born in Umeå, the central city of northern Sweden. Hajime Stockholm Art University Konstfack ( Konstfack) to learn painting. In 1937, he joined the Gustavsberg company, where he gradually distinguished himself under the tutelage of his teacher, Wilhelm Koge. Twelve years later, in 1949, he succeeded Koge as an art director in charge of the design of the company.
Since then, Lindberg has released numerous works as a standard-bearer of Swedish modernism in the middle of the 20th century. The Gustavsberg workshop reached its peak in the era when Lindberg was active, and the works of that time are recognized as the work of the golden age called "mid-century" and have high value. Lindberg's workshop is called G-Studion (G Studio), and young designers are showing great skill, producing prominent artists such as Lisa Larson.
Bibi Breger
Bibi Breger (1927-2014)
Born in Fagersta, a town about 100 kilometers north of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. While studying textile design at Konstfack Art University , a famous art university in the country , he began to undertake design work while still in school. Her husband Karl-Arne Breger is also known as a famous product designer.
Gustavsberg's tenure at Bibi was short, from 1953 to 1957, but during that time he devised pattern designs that remain today, such as Prisma, Lotus, and Salix. After leaving Gustavsberg, she and her husband founded Breger Design AB, which is based in Malmö, southern Sweden. Many of her husband Karl's famous product designs were created after starting the business, and it makes me feel that there was Vivi's competence in the background.
