An Overview of Ingrid Atterberg’s Presenta Series
Ingrid Atterberg (1920–2008) designed many classics for the Swedish Upsala-Ekeby company in the 1940s to 1960s. One of the most well-known series is Presenta from 1955. It consists of six earthenware objects: bowls, dishes, and vases. They have gently swelling quadratic shapes, brown/white grid pattern, and sometimes hand-decorated yellow vertical lines. The items are deep stamped on the lower side with UE, Sweden, Abg, and the model number. The series was manufactured until 1957. Which of Ingrid’s Presenta objects is your favorite?
