Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss (1928-2022). Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss and Torun Bülow-Hübe got to know each other while both studying at the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Palmstierna-Weiss is today best known for her work in the theatre world. She worked both with scenography and with costumes, internationally and in Sweden, often with her husband, the writer and artist Peter Weiss, but also on several occasions with Ingmar Bergman. At the University of Arts, Crafts and Design Palmstierna-Weiss studied ceramics among other things, and she later ran her own ceramics workshop in the mid-1950s. During their time at school, the women collaborated on creating silver necklaces with stoneware designed by Palmstierna-Weiss, and in the mid-1950s, they had a joint exhibition in Paris at Galerie du Siècle, a gallery that was an important venue in Bülow-Hübe's career. Palmstierna-Weiss and Bülow-Hübe remained close friends throughout their lives.
