Gustavsberg sits on Farstaviken, an inlet of the Stockholm archipelago in Stockholm County, where settlement developed around sheltered water east of the Swedish capital. It is the municipal centre of Värmdö and has long been identified with ceramics: Gustavsbergs Porslinsfabrik was founded here in 1825. The factory’s output helped make the name familiar across Sweden, while designers including Stig Lindberg shaped its 20th-century reputation for tableware and decorative ceramics. Today, the former industrial area remains central to Gustavsberg’s identity, alongside its waterfront setting among the islands and inlets of the archipelago.
