The Gustavsberg factory was renowned for its progressive social structure. The conditions for the workers were better than elsewhere, which was a significant factor in its rapid growth. The workers only joined a union in 1919, reflecting the factory's commitment to providing a conducive working environment.

Stig Lindberg: The Renowned Designer

Stig Lindberg (1916–1982) was the most famous designer of the Gustavsberg factory. His contributions were instrumental in helping the factory survive the crisis of the 1940s. Lindberg served as the artistic director from 1948 to 1957 and from 1971 to 1980, leaving a significant mark on the factory's history.
