Jim Miller-Melberg
Confident

About the Item

Jim Miller-Melberg (1929 - 2017) was a mid-century industrial designer and sculptor known for his ubiquitous playground sculptures. Jim studied at the University of Michigan, Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and independently at studios in Europe. He taught three-dimensional design at the University of Michigan. In 1960, Jim founded Form, Inc. where he designed, engineered and produced a line of globally recognized playground sculptures and park amenities that are still found throughout the world. Inspiration for his fine art pieces often included nature and the human figure. A beautifully crafted sculpture cast in bronze, “Confident” is an excellent example of Jim’s fascination with the human form, and his dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.
