Sigurd Persson achieved international recognition with the 1960 exhibition "77 Rings" at Nordiska Kompaniet in Stockholm. Throughout his career, he designed numerous objects in silver, stainless steel, cast iron, enamel, glass, and plastic. Today, his work is represented in several museum collections worldwide, including the National Museum and the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, the Helsingborg Museum, the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Oslo, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Sigurd Persson's work is well-known and widely prized both in Sweden and internationally. In Svenskt Tenn’s range, you can find his now-classic Tre Kulor (Three Spheres) Candle holder, designed in 1963, and Kammarljusstaken (the Chamber handle holder.)
