Bengt and Lotta

BENGT & LOTTA 2014 – 2015

The little shop on Norrtullsgatan 3 in Stockholm
is a haven for creativity and design. If you’re
lucky you’ll catch both Bengt and Lotta in there
at the same time; the couple that met at the
University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in
Stockholm and who have enriched the world
with their playful designs ever since.
Bengt Lindberg and Lotta Glave were a couple already
at university, studying graphic art and illustration. After
graduating, Lotta got a job at one of Sweden’s main
newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Bengt at an ad
agency that turned out to be a pretty boring job. Neither
of them could resist the flow of creative ideas that kept
coming. For Bengt, it all started with a cow, which
became a cast iron candleholder. The cow was soon
accompanied by a sheep, a horse and an elk, all
produced in Småland, Bengt’s home county. Bengt made
sure to launch them in all the right stores and as for the
elk, it coincided with the enormous interest in elks from
German tourists who would even steal the road signs of
elks when visiting Sweden! The four classics are still in
production and have spread all over the globe, from
Sweden and Germany to the US and Japan. But it didn’t
stop there; the animals soon also populated printed
fabrics, blankets and notebooks.
No doubt the couple’s backgrounds have inspired their
never-ending creativity. Bengt was born in Värnamo, in
Sweden but his grandparents had a farm in Skåne, filled
with objects of art, handicrafts and nick-nacks.
– I have
always loved old things, says Bengt, especially the
slightly naive, clumsy folk art stuff. When things are too
perfect they also get to be boring.
Lotta Glave, who stems from Malmö believes a lot of her
inspiration comes from her Austrian grandmother who
worked as an illustrator and bookbinder. Their home was
always filled with fun, homemade creations like fantastic
doll’s houses made out of lacquered paper! I love stuff
that is fun, different and makes you happy, says Lotta
who got drawn into the family business when Bengt
asked her to draw an angel. Like Bengt’s animals, Lotta’s
angel has spread from candleholders and Christmas tree
decorations to necklaces and fabrics. Nowadays, Lotta
designs most of the patterns; designs that are appreciated all over the world, not least in Japan and the U.K.
Today, the couples creations are represented at Nordiska
Muséet in Stockholm, Kulturen in Lund and at Växjö
Glass Museum. And if you visit their little store in Stockholm you will find them surrounded by hundreds of other
items; trays, lamps, furniture, porcelain, serviettes – as
well as thousands of ideas that haven’t
materialised –
yet.
