Marie-Louise Hellgren

Marie-Louise Hellgren is a major Swedish designer working mainly in ceramics. Her portfolio includes a number of ceramics classics, including traditional Höganäs and more contemporary work for the Design House of Stockholm. It is essential to Marie Louise that her ceramics inspire and contribute to daily life. Simplicity, functionality and elegance characterise her work.

Chang & Biorck are pleased to feature her new bone china tea pots as well as her tea cups, Ao and Tu, which complement each other but can also stand as individual pieces. The saucers symbolise the sun and the moon, two elements which were inspired by her visit to the altar at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
