[ About Lisa Larson ]

Lisa Larson (1931- )

Elmhult in Kronoberg county in Småland, southern Sweden ( Born in Härlunda, a village of about 500 people in the Älmhult district . When I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer, but after entering the Gothenburg College of Art, I learned ceramics. At one point, Stig Lindberg discovered him in a competition, and after a trial period of one year, he was formally appointed as a designer at Gustavsberg. Soon after, in 1955, he announced the Lilla zoo series, and in 1964 he devised the famous Afrika series of lion statues.
In addition to Gustavsberg, Lisa Larson has also designed for Höganäs, national retail giant Åhléns and German pottery manufacturer Rosenthal. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1981, he continued his creative activities freely and was active in various fields as a freelance artist who entered into freelance contracts with companies rather than working exclusively with them. In 1979 and 1981, he held solo exhibitions at the Seibu Department Store in Tokyo. It is said that 70,000 people visited his solo exhibition in 1981.
