Bio:
Gunnar Nylund (1904–1997) was a French-born Swedish ceramic artist, sculptor and designer who played a significant role in the development of Scandinavian stoneware during the 20th century. In 1928, he co-founded the Saxbo ceramic workshop in Denmark with Nathalie Krebs and later became artistic director at Rörstrand in Sweden. Nylund was particularly celebrated for his elegant organic forms and experimental glazes featuring sophisticated colour transitions and natural variations. His ceramic works combine functionalist simplicity with a strong sculptural sensibility and remain highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian ceramics.
