Birkiland Manifesto...

We believe that Iceland is unique

We believe that there is an increased need for understanding our past, our identity and our history

We love all the colors of the rainbow

We believe in the intense power of nature

We believe in quality

We believe that design will help create competitive advantage of the nation

We believe in love and respect for all things

We believe in learning from the past, look to the future and still enjoy today

We believe that our home should nourish both body and soul

Íslensk hönnun (Icelandic Design)

You all seemed to like my Hotel Reykjavík 101 post, so I thought I'd begin working on a guide to Reykjavík with all the things not to miss that may not be in the normal guide books, so watch this space!

In the meanwhile here are some of my favourite pieces of Icelandic Design of which I have a few myself...

Raven Hanger by Ingibjörg Hanna Bjarnadóttir

 I love these hanging dolls by  Maja Ólafsdóttir (and you can mine hanging in the picture below), available from Galleri Thórs

The virtue blanket by Mary (Olof Maria Olafsdottir) is on my wishlist...get it at Birkiland

I love, love, love the tree by Michael Young, Katrin Olina Petursdottir, but too many people that I know have it!

A picture from my hallway in my apartment, these words translate into "God bless the home" the design is by Ólöf Jakobína Ernudóttir and it is available to buy in Epal
