Berndt Friberg was born in 1899 in Höganäs, Sweden, in a region that was famous for its rich ceramic tradition. Al vroeg raakt hij vertrouwd met het ambacht: as a young man, he worked with me in the ceramic factory of his family, which was the basis of the blanks of draaien and glazurs. Zijn uitzonderlijke gevoel voor vorm en techniek brought him a quick verder in the ambachtelijke - Friberg began keramiek te benaderen as art.

In 1934 he took on a career in the best possible way and went to work in Gustavsberg, a large factory factory. There was nothing on the planes of Stig Lindberg, the two talents came from the stimulation of their development as a single artist within the factory. Friberg worked for years as a master craftsman in 1944, also with his own artistic skills, which were all hand-crafted and designed.

Friberg became famous for its perfect design, with small and verfijnde vormen - come, bowls and vases - the een zeldzame elegantie uitstralen. Zijn glazuren, veelal in diepe aardse inks zoals mosgroen, kastanjebruin en blauwgrijs, will be minutieus opgebouwd in layers the een zacht, bijna zijdeachtige structuur gaven. This work is characterized by its excellent technical characteristics: complete symmetry, the three-dimensional wall and the meditating sound.

Hoewel Friberg has a modest and teruggetrokken leven sufferingde, great reputation in the jars heen tot international hoogte. Musea en verzamelaars over de hele world prijzen zijn keramiek as hoogtepunten van Scandinavian modernisme. Elk werk is a silent four-way van vacuum and tijdloze schoonheid.

Berndt Friberg left in 1981, his work was published in collections from other museums at the National Museum in Stockholm and at the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg. This work is a bron of inspiration for ceramists who strive for perfection in a room - a piece of art that is different in spirit.
