Designer
Sidney Gibson was a Swedish sculptor and artisan. He studied at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm from 1896 to 1899 and was an architecture student at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm from 1902 to 1905. He then undertook study trips abroad, including to London, Paris, and Florence. Gibson was hired by Ragnar Östberg in the construction of the Stockholm City Hall, where he executed the sculpture group "Mother with Child" on the eastern tower. As an artisan, Gibson has primarily focused on furniture, lighting, and silver pieces, notably in the interior of the Great Gallery in Stockholm City Hall. As an exhibitor, he participated in the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914 and the Gothenburg Tercentennial Jubilee Exposition in 1923. Gibson is represented at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
