I finally got my hands on the copy of this Swedish treasure - Stig Lindberg book (Stig Lindberg - Tusenkonstnaren).Squealing with excitement like a total Scandinavian design junkie (that I am) I've gone over all the pages several times... wishing I could read Swedish. It's Ok tho... because I see it the way a kid would - as an amazing picture book. Hard to imagine that this tremendous body of work belongs to one man. Feeling very inspired now:)

oooh what a treasure to have...!
Ooooo it looks fabulous very inspirational! ( I have a friend in Sweden, she's a translater in Stockholm, if you want to know what certain bits say she'll translate no problem! just send me the bits of text!)
I have this book myself, it's absolutely fantastic. Stig Lindberg was such a genius, I love his stuff!
It's too bad that you cannot read the text, it tells the story of his life.
This book looks great, I love scandinavian design.
Ooh... I can only imagine how super inspiring that book must be! He's definitely one of my very favorite designers ever. Enjoy your book!

Hi, I'm from Sweden if you need help with translation, I can help you :)
Thanks Simon! It's so sweet of you to offer:)
It's too much to translate tho... and if I do get ambitions... I'll be sure to ask:)
Hi Helen, I am a long time collector of Stig Lindberg (have a look at my website www.kirkmodern.com) I was lucky enough to see the retrospective in Stockholm and interview the curator. I have a translation of some of the catalog if you are interested I could send it to you.
