About the Artist & Studio
Founded in 1859, Gabriel Keramik is a cornerstone of Swedish ceramic history. Under the leadership of artist and graphic designer Gabriel Burmeister starting in 1925, the studio moved toward the avant-garde. While the company is now world-renowned for its traditional Swedish tiled stoves, its mid-century art pottery remains a favorite for its organic textures and "fire-born" glaze colors.
