Swedish designer, ceramicist, illustrator and painter stig lindberg (1916-1982) was one of the most productive artists from the 1930s to the 1970s, a period often considered the golden age of scandinavian design. In 1937, he graduated from the university college of art, crafts and design (now konstfack) in stockholm. A little later, he collaborated with the ceramic manufacturer gustavsberg, located outside stockholm. There, he was a painter on earthenware under the direction of wilhelm koge, to whom he succeeded in 1949. In the 1950s and 1960s, stig lindberg made many famous pieces for gustavsberg, including pungo (1953), spisa ribb (1955), domino (1955), terma (1955), and bersa (1960-74), all in ceramic, sandstone, earthenware and porcelain. Stig lindberg is interested in many fields, such as industrial design, textile design, painting and blown glass. In 1947, he began his collaboration with astrid sampe, chief textile designer at the nk department store in stockholm. Together, they design fun and surreal prints, which are today the emblems of swedish modernism. These include melodi (1947), friktlada (1947), pottery (1947), and lustgirden (1954). In 1957, stig lindberg returned to his first love and began teaching ceramics, and became the mentor of artists such as bertil and ulrica hydman-vallien. In 1959, he designed for luma the lumavision lt 104 swivel-screen television and a transistor radio in 1962. He is also the originator of rather strange illustrations for a series of books.
