Bertel Gardberg was born in Tammisaari in 1916. He was related to goldsmith Erik Gardberg, who worked in Helsinki from 1829 to 1854, and Fabergé subcontractor Alexander Gardberg. Bertel's doctor-father Otto Gardberg was also a skilled carpenter. His mother was Sally Aschan.
Career
In his youth, Gardberg worked on a merchant ship. There he learned how little space there was for purposeless objects. Gardberg found his own field when he was selected in 1938 as a student of the first course of the Helsinki Goldsmith's School. At the same time, he also studied metal forging in the evening course of the Central School of Arts and Crafts and in the evening course of the Vocational Training Institute. Gardberg graduated from goldsmith school in 1941, but frontline service in the Winter and Continuation War slowed down the start of his career.
Danish silversmithing was well known, so Gardberg went to Denmark to perfect his skills. He worked there, among other things, in A. Michelsen's gold and silversmith's studio and took with him from Denmark an appreciation of craftsmanship and finished quality.
In 1949, Gardberg established his own office in Helsinki at the corner of Mannerheimintie and Nordenskiöldinkatu. In the same year, he received the right to stamp. In 1955, he moved to Isol Roobertinkatu, where his studio was until 1966.
From 1953 to 1954, Gardberg was the designer and finally the chief designer of Galeries Lafayette. The 1954 Milan Triennale gold medal was awarded to Gardberg for his designs of steel serving platters, cutlery and a pewter cigarette case. He also received awards from the triennial in 1957 and 1960.
In 1960, Gardberg received a rare Golden Ring of Honor from the German goldsmith's art society. In 1961, he received the Lunning Award, the most prestigious honor of Nordic designers. In the same year, he also received the Pro Finlandia Award.
From 1966 to 1971, Gardberg lived in Ireland, where he was founding the Kilkenny Design Workshops design center, of which he also acted as artistic director. During the Irish season, Gardberg worked a lot with stones. At first, he worked with diamond gems imported from Rhodesia, but later, after trade relations collapsed, he mainly used local stone types.
After returning to Finland in 1973, Gardberg settled in Pohja, where he renovated an old military farm into a home for his family. In connection with that, he had an atelier-workshop at the Fiskars ironworks, which embodied the small-scale production effort characteristic of the time. In the 1980s, Gardberg created insect-themed miniature sculptures, which are considered the pinnacle of Finnish stone art.
