Gunnar Nylund (1904–1997) was a Swedish ceramicist and sculptor, born in Paris. He worked at Bing & Grøndahl from 1925 to 1928 and in 1928 founded, together with the chemist Nathalie Krebs, the workshop that became Saxbo in 1930. From 1931 to 1955 he worked at Rörstrand, mostly as artistic director, and he is particularly known for his stoneware with matte glazes and his animal figures.
