Olle Alberius

I’d hate to come across as snobbish, but most of the things Alberius designed, don’t appeal to me at all. However, when he’s good, he’s really good. His unique pieces in chamotte stonewear are raw and brutalistic, yet graceful. The Rörstrand Studio works are a bit more playful and light-hearted. Elegant, even. And some pieces makes you think that he was a Swedish Ettore Sottsass.
