In 1942 Wilhelm Kage reorganized his department into the Gustavsberg Studio (G Studio). It was launched as an "aesthetic laboratory" within the factory’s borders. The studio was depicted as an idyllic oasis of ideas besides the industrial stress, a place where work could be done in peace and quiet. The studio debuted in 1942 with the exhibition "faience painted in spring" where Wilhelm Kåge and Stig Lindberg in cooperation with Berndt Friberg took up the ancient and vibrant art of faience. The exhibition, which was displayed in the factory's own premises in the center of Stockholm, attracted wide attention. The studio evolved rapidly after the war and the number of employees grew. At most, a total of about 50 people were involved in the business. The number of designers and artists employees amounted to about 15 to 20 including Wilhelm Kåge, Stig Lindberg Berndt Friberg, Anders Bruno Liljefors, Bengt Berglund and Sven Wejsfelt. The studio was closed in connection with the closing of household porcelain factory in 1993.
