Stig Lindberg "Pottery" Fabric

This is a fabulous Stig Lindberg designed fabric "Pottery" from the 1940s. A few of his patterns were re released a couple of years ago and some pieces such as cushions and bags by Design House Stockholm can still be found.

that is absolutely fabulous!
thanks for sharing.

I love it.

Brilliant thanks, I'm gobsmacked - is the fabric still reproduced do you know?

I am not sure. Some of his fabrics were produced under license, Pottery and Lustgarden are the two I have seen. The fabric I bought in Sweden but I did see some table runners, cushions and bags in Design House Stockholm concession in Selfridges a few months ago. It might be worth googling, I am sure there will be somewhere in Sweden willing to post. I will photograph Lustgarden and post it here soon.

garden of Eden is wonderful too

This is absolutely fabulous - I love his designs and really wish I had some too, though they're going for a very tidy sum now...

I've got some other 'pottery' fabric I really like - not quite as intricate as this but I'd love to see if anyone knows who has designed it so I'll post a photo when I next get chance.

I saw some pottery fabric last week at a fair,a French designer but the name escapes me

Sanderson have just release a great collection of 50s designs on fabric and wallpaper which includes a fabric based on Poole Pottery Freeform patterns in 4 colourways obviously inspired by Stig Lindberg design. Some nice images on their website. "Hayward’ was designed in the Sanderson studio and is inspired by the incised textures and patterns used to decorate 1950’s Poole pottery. These graphic patterns within elegant ceramic shapes have been printed on linen union in four rich colourways which reflect the intense glazes used on the pottery."

Recently found these curtains in a car boot. I was told they were shower curtains because they are printed on thin plastic - but would have to be a weird shower because there are 2 curtains, about 4ft square, and a pelmet. I think they must be kitchen or bathroom curtains but they really reminded me of the Stig Lindberg pottery fabric - except featuring 50s lightshades!

Stig had a huge influence on 50's and & 60's design,Poole pottery was revitalised by Robert Jefferson's visit to Sweden where he caught the Stig bug

Aren't they fabulous?! Great find, Kirkmodern! Think I've caught the Stig bug too...

Is that a bit like swedish Flu

very like Swedish flu - but more expensive!

Interesting-perhaps the shower curtain was a Goppinger product? The driving force begand his textile work as Astrid Sampe-chief designer at Nordiska Kpmpaniet in Stockholm
