Design House Stockholm presents Lisa Larson’s iconic ‘Birds 1967’ collection, a series of collectable design masterpieces rediscovered after being hidden from the public eye for decades.
Lisa Larson’s iconic design collection ‘Birds 1967’ have taken flight one again as Design House Stockholm proudly revives a selection from the series, marking a notable addition to their ever-expanding gallery of iconic designs and products. With six celebrated birds launched in 2024 and more birds joining the flock in 2025, this elegant crafted series brings joy to any space.
Inspired by the spirit of the vibrant 1960s with its bold creativity, flower power, and the positive exaggeration of design and fashion, the Birds collection spent decades hidden away amongst the many gems by the celebrated Swedish ceramist. Each bird is crafted from solid beech wood with meticulous attention to detail, painted with vibrant colours and exotic patterns. Brought back into the spotlight, Design House Stockholm pays tribute to their unique heritage and timeless design.
Lisa Larson, designer of ‘Birds 1967’ built her legacy crafting world-renowned ceramics at Gustavsberg, Sweden. Heavily influenced by her travels and experiences of the USA plus her residency while studying at UCLA with her husband, her work is infused with Mexican Folk Art and the vibrant spirit of the ’60s where high-keyed colors and bold patterns resonated with the Flower Power generation.
‘I brought back gouache colors [from the USA] in shades which were impossible to get in Sweden at that time’ says Larson, ’and I found a retired carpenter who turned out these shapes in wood which I then painted all by myself’.
The Birds 1967 are a beautiful blend of traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression. A celebration of life and the power of the soul from one of Sweden’s most renown ceramicist, Birds 1967 are a perfect gift and unique personalities to adore.
‘I was completely mesmerised by these birds craving for attention’, says Anders Färdig, founder of Design House Stockholm, reflecting on the collection, ‘Why were they not in production? The Mexican look, the outsized Flower Power patterns: Lisa Larson’s birds are almost like peace doves, a remembrance of a time when the young generation protested against war and dreamt about a new society.’
