Sculpture 'Springare'

Designed by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg

Sweden, 1950s

The “Springare” by Stig Lindberg is a refined ceramic sculpture from Sweden’s mid‑20th‑century design era. Crafted in the 1950s for the Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory, this piece interprets the theme of a horse in a sculptural form that balances simplicity and expression. With its softly rounded body, spindly legs and minimal head, the figure embodies Lindberg’s characteristic blend of humour, elegance and craft. This version features a light glaze with subtle painted and incised detailing, offering both visual calm and textural interest.

Lindberg’s work at Gustavsberg and his broader career as a designer and educator mark him as one of the most versatile and influential voices in Swedish design history.
