12 Bowls with Terracotta Glaze by Signe Persson Melin for Boda Nova, Sweden
About the Item
12 Bowls with terracotta glaze by Signe Persson Melin, (1925-2022) for Boda Nova, Sweden. She was a designer and craftsperson an was still working at the age of ninety. She has designed products in ceramics, metal, glass and concrete for companies like kosta Boda, Boda Nova, Höganäs, Rörstrand, Byarums Bruk and Svenskt Tenn.
Text from an Exhibition at Vandalorum, Sweden 2018: Signe Persson-Melin has been one of Sweden’s most prominent designers and ceramics since her major public breakthrough at the H55 housing fair in Helsingborg more than 60 years ago. She was one of the first ceramists in the country to run her own workshop in the 1950s and she became a leading designer for companies such as Höganäs, Boda Nova and Rörstrand in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1985 she was appointed Sweden’s first professor of ceramics and glassmaking. And after that – when most people would have chosen to retire – Persson-Melin instead began developing a range of new design collaborations with prominent Swedish design producers.
To keep your relevance as a designer for numerous six decades is difficult. An even bigger challenge is to create objects which retain their attractiveness over all these years. Persson-Melin’s success in both aspects is probably a result of her decision to never follow trends. She early on developed her own expression and a series of priorities which she has held on to, regardless of assignment. In her work, everyday needs for function and beauty have always come first. In her expression, she has sought aesthetic durability, radiance and attractiveness. In her choices of forms, she has managed to combine the rustic and elegant into timeless simplicity.
