Iceland is hot.

Iceland was one of my favourite stops so far on this part world trip, the landscape was incredible, the people were lovely and the design there blew us away.

We both ended up taking one of these raven coathanger designed by Ingibjorg Hanna, a graphic designer from the Iceland Academy of the Arts. The coathangers come in two styles, one with the regular hook top and the other with a long wire to be hung from the ceiling. I opted for the long wire like the ones in the picture below.




If you have the chance visit Birkiland (they have the raven hangers too), a site dedicated to Icelandic designers. I've popped some of my favourite designs from the site below but there is so much more. They have a blog too, although it hasn't been updated in awhile! (much like ours!)

Cup hangers by Ragnheidur Ingunn Agustsdottir.




Restore cups and saucers by Bjorg Juto and Anna Thorunn Hauksdottir.




The sealpelt by Vik Prjonsdottir.



We visited the capital, Reykjavik. Thought I'd share some pictures of what we found around the city.




Hope everyone is well.
