Lisa Larson X Skultuna

Lisa Larson, born in 1931 and passing in 2024, remains a central figure in twentieth century Swedish ceramic design. Her work stands as a widely recognised expression of a period marked by both artistic clarity and enduring craftsmanship.

Her design language is defined by warmth and humour, often accompanied by a subtle sense of irony. Between 1954 and 1980 she worked at Gustavsbergs Porcelain Factory, a formative chapter in which many of her most recognised ceramic works were created. Her significance within Swedish design history is further reflected in her representation at the National Museum.

In 2023 Lisa Larson spoke of her long standing interest in materials and her anticipation of seeing her figures interpreted in brass through a collaboration with Skultuna. Having primarily worked with clay, she described brass as an ancient and genuine material that had always fascinated her.
