This is a limited series of house objects called the BPA series created by Sweden's leading ceramic artist Lisa Larsson in the 1980s. Lisa Larsson worked for Gustavsberg, a long-established Swedish pottery manufacturer, for many years, but after leaving the company in 1980, she turned to freelance work and received design requests from manufacturers around the world.
The BPA series is a series of objects created by Lisa Larsson at the request of a Swedish architectural firm. This is a limited edition of 75 pieces produced in 1987. The façade is modeled after the old folk houses seen in the streets of Swedish provincial cities, and gives a feel of the medieval suburbs. This object is a very rare piece of the BPA series to appear on the vintage market.

Lisa Larson
Lisa Larson (1931-2024)
A world-renowned Swedish ceramicist, he was born in Härlunda, a village of about 500 people in the Älmhult district of Kronoberg county in the Småland region in southern Sweden.
As a child, she aspired to be a fashion designer, but after enrolling at the Gothenburg Academy of Art, she studied ceramics. One day, she was discovered by Stig Lindberg at a competition, and after a one-year probationary period, she officially joined Gustavsberg as a designer. Shortly thereafter, in 1955, she released the Lilla Zoo series, and in 1964, she came up with the Afrika series, famous for its lion statues.
Lisa Larson has not only worked for Gustavsberg, but has also provided designs for Höganäs, the major domestic retailer Åhléns, and the German ceramic manufacturer Rosenthal. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1979, she became a freelance artist, working on a voluntary basis with companies, rather than as an exclusive contractor, and continued to work freely in various fields. In 1979 and 1981, she held solo exhibitions at Seibu Department Store in Tokyo, and the 1981 exhibition was visited by a total of 70,000 people.
