This 1962 monograph is an exceptional tribute to one of Sweden's most important postwar designers and an exceptional book-as-object production: the paper-covered boards feature a black and white Lindberg design, the carefully coordinated paper stocks separate the sections, enhance the gorgeous gravure printing and frame the color plates throughout.
Stig Lindberg (19161982) 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 under Wilhelm Kage. In 1949, he was named Kage's successor as art director. From this period until he left Gustavsberg in 1980, he designed individual ceramic items, as well as factory produced ranges and lines of dinnerware.
