Upsala Ekeby Gefle, Sweden – Arabesk Design

I have had hold of this impressive and very graphic looking design for some time and as often happens designs and designers are revealed over time. Fortunately thanks to Johan on Instagram the design has finally been identified, so Im putting it up here as a reference.

The design is “Arabesk” and It is a very hard to find design from 1959, but the designer is unknown. It was produced at Upsala-Ekeby Gefle in Sweden.

There is a good and concise history of this iconic Swedish company and its iterations on Wikipedia HERE

Kosmos came in 2 colour décors
