Functionality and design
They focused on interior design which was useful, but always with stylish design, in order to achieve this they hired some of the best designers such as Hjördis Oldfors, Mari Simmulson, Arthur Percy, Olle Alberius, Carl Malmsten, Vicke Lindstrand, and Ingrid Atterberg to name a few. This meant that the company quickly gained a reputation of being one of Scandinavia’s leading brands when it came to Mid-century modern art and design pottery. The company’s ceramic manufacturing began in the 1960s in response to growing sales of both tableware, vases and other object used for interior decor as well as art ceramics.
The history
Upsala-Ekeby was established on 29 January 1886, in Sweden. Uppsala began with the production of bricks and tiles and other pottery objects. In the 1910s, the company began hiring artists. Among the first designers was Anna-Lisa Thomson and Sven Erik Skawonius, who was leading figures for the growing style now known as modern Swedish grace and Scandinavian design. This gave the company a world reputation and is still seen as one of the most innovative companies when it comes to Mid-century modern art and design.
