Nilsson is primarily known for his objects created in silver with a geometric, stylish and austere form. Nilsson made his debut at the Gothenburg Exhibition in 1923. At the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, he had his big breakthrough and his innovative modernism was a success. Nilsson has, among other things, created jewellery, silverware and crockery.
