Stig Lindberg

Stig Lindberg is one of Sweden's most beloved designers and is sometimes called "the man who designed the peoples’ home".
In collaboration with NOTE design studio, Bricmate has selected and updated four of Stig Lindberg's designs.

By being applied to porcelain stoneware, Stig Lindberg's patterns are elevated into a new context where design from more than half a century ago meets modern technology and a contemporary aesthetic application. The result is a beautiful and well-balanced combination of patterns with a subtlety that balances colours and shapes. Each pattern is available in a blue, a yellow and a brown shade. Together they create a cohesive whole, and both patterns and colours can be combined.

In this project, Filigran Blue, Railing Blue and Lattice Blue tiles have been used.

In this project, Filigran Blue, Railing Blue and Lattice Blue tiles have been used.

Filigran
In 1951, Stig Lindberg designed a series of vases and bowls called Filigran. Each model had different graphic decors. Filigree has, with its time-typical stylish expression, become a real classic. The pattern has a distinctly graphic and minimalist style, but still with the playfulness that is Stig Lindberg's unmistakable signature.

Railing
During the 40s and 50s, Gustavsbergs Studio manufactured thousands of faience: ceramic objects in earthenware with hand-painted decor. The patterns were usually given practical names, a letter and a combination of numbers. Railing is based on Fajans Y, a powerful graphic pattern with a clear hand-painted character.

Lattice 
A pattern with a clear resemblance to Stig's tableware Spisa Ribb.  It was hand-painted by earthenware painters on vases, bowls, dishes, candlesticks and even lamp bases in faience that Stig Lindeberg designed for Gustavsberg's studio in the early 50's. It has a geometric but still highly vivid look that is typical for the era. In Sweden, the pattern was called GG, but when it was to be launched abroad, the English name became Lattice, "slat".
