Gabriel Burmeister was the artist, graphic designer and potter, who in 1925 acquired a faience factory in Timmernabben whose roots dated back to 1859. At the beginning of the last century, he developed a
special style called Gabriel Faience. It was inspired by 18-century faience from the old Swedish factories Marieberg and Rrstrand and by the stove decorations of that time. Gabriel Burmeister collaborated with
other skilled tile and ceramic designers, including Hjalmar Dahl from Gagnef in Dalacarlia. Prior to his collaboration with Gabriel Burmeister, he had decorated tiled stoves at the Boiver Stove Factory in Uppsala.
