Elis Bergh

Hagbard Elias (Elis) Bergh ( April 17, 1881 in Linköping − June 23, 1954 in Kungsholm parish in Stockholm) was a Swedish architect and designer.

[1] Bergh studied at the Academy of Arts in Stockholm 1899–1902 and practiced with architect Agi Lindegren 1902–1903, where he participated in the decoration of Gustaf Vasa church.

Notable among his early works as an architect is Villa Skoga in Storängen, which he designed in 1906 for the book publisher Wilhelm Widstrand (Wahlström & Widstrand).

In 1928 he was called back, now to design lighting fixtures, a field in which he was considered an authority.

[3] As artistic director, he was responsible for the graceful yet modern design that distinguished Kosta's output during the Interwar period.
