Trained in Copenhagen as an architect, he joined the design studio of Bing & Grondahl. He joined Nathalie Krebs in 1929 to form the small studio pottery Saxbo.
Beginning in 1930, he began a highly productive period with Rörstrand that was to last until 1958. At Rörstrand, Nylund developed innovative feldspar matte glazes also popularized by Berndt Friberg and Carl-Harry Stålhane.
After working with Nymolle, he became a design consultant to Rörstrand and Stromberg before forming his own studio, Designia.
