MEET THE DESIGNER
LINDA PABST
Color, bold shapes and a stripped-down expression. That’s where it all starts.
I work as an illustrator and designer, where I move in contrasts – the pure against the playful, the simple against the expressive. A mix that has to take its place, without apologizing.
I live and work in Hindås, outside Gothenburg, with clients both in Sweden and internationally. After over 20 years in the advertising industry, I started my own brand – around 13 years ago.
Ceramics have always been with me. Now it has taken its natural place – as an extension of my design language. This is not a side track. It is craftsmanship.
Every object bears traces of my hand. Small differences, small shifts – that’s where the unique arises. Nothing is mass-produced. Nothing is exactly the same.
What you see here is made by me. No Chat GPT.
I live and have my studio in Hindås, outside Gothenburg (Sweden). Started my professional career at an advertising agency and stayed in that industry for over 20 years as an employee. About 8 years ago, I took the step and invested in my own brand. Today I work as an illustrator and designer with the West Coast as a base.
Colourful combinations
Colourful in all it’s combinations is recurring in most things I do. Especially when it comes to my scarves and art. Posters with strict grey and black tones are plentiful on the market. It’s also nice. But I want to give a little more. Tickle your senses with bold colour combinations. It makes me happy, and hopefully, you too.
A couple of years ago, I resumed my interest in ceramics. I love that my everyday things around me, are designed with feeling and awareness. Also made with love. That’s what craft is. No two cups are exactly alike. A nice detail when you think about it. Do you have a mug from me? In that case, my hands have shaped what you drink your coffee from every morning.
I work both analogue and digital, depending on what suits the projects.

I started training as a ceramicist, continued into the advertising industry. But have now resumed interest in ceramics again.

I love to travel and experience different environments. Asia is number one. But Sweden also has it´s gems. Like here, Tvestjärten, a tiny little island in the Bohuslän archipelago. What inspires you?
