Stig Lindberg was active for four decades and is considered to be one of Sweden's most important and prominent designers. He was an artist, designer and painter, illustrator and worked with materials such as ceramics, glass and textiles to name a few. His children's book illustrations for Lennart Hellsing (Krakel Spektakel, Daniel Doppsko and Musikbussenare) are just as popular today as when they were first published.
