More information

Under arbete med badkarsemaljer råkade Stig Lindberg se ett färgprov, en plåtbit som vandrat ut och in i ugnen. Det slog honom att man kunde arbeta rent konstnärligt med materialet. År 1949 kom hans första emaljmålning på stålplåt. På Triennalen i Milano 1951 visade Stig Lindberg modernt emaljmåleri i internationella sammanhang för första gången. Därefter tillverkade han tillsammans med NK:s möbelverkstad i Nyköping bord med emaljskivor. Emaljen bjöd på en färgpalett på upp till sju tusen nyanser efter bränning i ugn 5-6 minuter. Flera konstnärer använde sig av tekniken, bland andra Egon Möller-Nielsen, Algot Törneman och Endre Nemes. Bordsunderreden fanns i flera olika utföranden. De var oftast årtalsmärkta undertill tillsammans med NK:s stämpel.

Designer

During the 1950s and 1960s, Stig Lindberg created many of his most sought-after stoneware objects, decorative vases, bowls, and dishes with pressed or carved decoration, and popular ceramic series such as Pungo, Domino, Terma, Karneval, were introduced. A few years later, he became artistic director after Wilhelm Kåge. Stig Lindberg designed popular tableware, several of which are still manufactured today, such as Adam, Eva, Berså, Spisa Ribb (now called Ribb), Prunus, and Aster. During his career, Lindberg worked as an industrial designer, book illustrator, textile and glass designer.
