CREATORS

* Stig Lindberg (Swedish, 1916–1982)  - designer
Stig Lindberg (born Frederick Stigurd Lindberg in Umeå, Sweden) was a Swedish ceramicist, glass artist, and textile designer. Having studied ceramics at the Konstfackskolen (School of Arts, Crafts, and Design) and the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (Royal Institute of Technology), Lindberg’s international reputation largely rests on his ceramic and glass designs for Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory and various Swedish glasshouses. Lindberg was the creative director of Gustavsberg between 1949 and 1957, and again between 1971 and 1980. Prior to his directorship, Lindberg illustrated children’s books and designed textiles for Nordiska Kompaniet that often incorporated playful motifs.
* Knoll Associates (American, est. 1938)  - manufacturer
American furniture and interior design firm, founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll (1914-1955), who emigrated from Germany to the USA in 1935. It now has subsidiary companies all over the world, which operate under the name Knoll International.
