Kge is known for his ceramics for the Gustavsberg porcelain factory, where he was the artistic director from 1917 to 1949. Kge studied from 1910 under Carl Wilhelmson at the Valand Academy of Art in Gothenburg and later under Johan Rohde in Copenhagen, where he became acquainted with Gsta Adrian Nilsson (GAN) and grew closer to modern art. He studied graphic art in Munich and began his artistic career by designing posters for theatres and exhibitions, among other things. His connection with Gustavsberg was facilitated through the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design, as Gustavsberg needed new products for the Home Exhibition at Liljevalchs in 1917. He went on to design around thirty different dinnerware sets, as well as art pottery, colourful faience, stoneware, and various series of art pottery such as Carrara, Surrea, and Vga. At the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, Kge presented Gustavsberg's future sales success "Argenta," a series of art pottery primarily glazed in green but also in red, blue, brown, and celadon green, and decorated with various silver designs based on Kge's sketches. Argenta became very popular and was produced well into the 1970s. In 1942, Kge, together with Stig Lindberg, established the Gustavsberg Studio, which became a kind of aesthetic laboratory for art pottery.
