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 Rörstrand 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.
