Curated Color: True Blue

Schall Eszter

Beautiful shades of blue, 

brought together via handcrafted mediums.

Stained glass, stitchery, 

photography, quilting, illustration.

Enjoy these expressions of blue!

Stig Lindberg Patterns

Continuing my series on Scandinavia's multi-faceted designer, Stig Lindberg,

I'd like to feature some of his mid-century patterns, 

which have been printed as fabric, wallpaper and such.

The clever "Pottery" design, above, reflects the passion for which he's most famous.

Stig Lindberg's well-recognized marking:

a "G" for the Gustavberg pottery factory, overlapped with a handprint,

along with his "Stig L" signature.

In continuation of my series on Swedish-born Stig Lindberg,

one of the most important designers of mid-century modern,

and in recognition of  the approaching Kentucky Derby weekend,

I bring you Stig Lindberg's ceramic horses!

One more way that Lindberg made his mark in the 50's & 60's,

these chubby bodies with stubby legs are somehow appealing,

and quite the collectors' pieces.

I'm really drawn to Scandinavian mid-century tableware.
Dare I go so far as to say that I am bowled over? (A pun, indeed.)

After doing a feature many months ago on Catherineholm, (see that post HERE),
I kept seeing a pattern similar to Catherineholm's leaf motif, and discovered it to
be called Bersa, shown above, from a man by the name of Stig Lindberg.

Lindberg (1916-1982) was a Swedish designer who mastered many avenues of the creative world
- ceramics, glass, painting, pottery and textiles, to name a few.
He spent most of his fruitful career as Artistic Director of the Gustavsberg pottery factory.
He is celebrated for his zest for life and spirit of whimsy, very evident in his works!

Upon google-ing around the web, I was overwhelmed with the depth of his talent.
So, this post serves as the first in a series on the prolific Stig Lindberg.



Here's another of Lindberg's dinnerware patterns - Adam.
