DescriptionDescription: The task was to design a service that stood out from Gustavsberg’s other lines. It could be technically complex to produce and bear a higher price point – as long as it caught the eye. The result was an octagonal service with fewer, but more flexible, parts than conventional ones. The geometric shape was highlighted by Karin Björquist’s choice of decoration: a red outer rim. There was also an all-white version called Åttkant.
