His works are now part of the collections of the Swedish National Museum, among others.

The square tile (22 × 22 cm) depicts a stylized equestrian figure with a horse in relief. The archaic, minimalist representation, combined with the warm, textured glaze and metallic accents, lends the object a powerful, almost sculptural presence. In its materiality and expressiveness, it exemplifies Scandinavian Modernism of the late 1960s and early 1970s, with clear allusions to Brutalist design trends.

A distinctive design object of the post-war modern period – effective both as a standalone piece on the wall and as part of a curated collection of Scandinavian ceramic art. This piece has an attribution mark,
