Lisa Larson’s birds have been nesting in her studio since 1967. Almost forgotten among so many gems by the celebrated Swedish ceramicist. Now roaming free after been resurrected by Design House Stockholm.

’We stayed close to the bay in Sausalito, near San Francisco in 1967, for half a year’ remembers Lisa Larson. ’I studied ceramics for Peter Voulkos at Berkeley. I encountered lots of strong colors and exotic patterns in folk-art from nearby Mexico. I just started out painting these birds without any idea on how to produce them.’
