Though Fanny Ollas’ studio is located in a historic porcelain factory in Gustavsberg – one that’s been home to some of Sweden’s most renowned sculptors – there’s nothing traditional about her works. Vases and stools, mirrors and tables, decorated with fur and corsetry, appear poised to spring to life. We visit the artist in her very pink studio and meet her expressive creations.
