Paradisverkstaden Design

Paradisverkstaden Design

Paradisverkstaden is a family business that designs and produces ceramics in its workshop and studio on Öland. It all started at Capellagården, Carl Malmsten's school in Vickleby on Öland. After extensive training and practice in France and Denmark, Eva and Olof started Paradisverkstaden in 1975. From the outset, the design language was unique with its folds, spheres and inward ridges. In the 1980s, they developed the popular series “Blue and Pink Floral” and “Slottskrukan” (Castle Pot). Olof turned bird baths, candelabras, and multi-level étagères which Eva decorated in relief. As demand increased, part of the raw goods production was outsourced to potters on Gotland. Production was later moved to a small workshop near Gdansk in Poland, due to a shortage of professional turners over here and good craftsmanship over there. In recent years, both daughters have worked with the design and are responsible for marketing and production. In 2014, a new workshop was inaugurated, where visitors are welcome to view the manufacturing process with all its stages.
