As part of The Iceland Project four international designers were staying in a remote place in eastern Iceland called Egilsstaðir. Team included a french, dutch, german and an icelandic. The plan was to work with local materials with local craftsmen and workshops to create a series of objects that communicate the local customs and heritage. Materials include, icelandic; wool, wood, bones, antlers, aluminium and reindeer leather. We were really keen on working with local craftsmen and workshops; felting, sand casting, wood cutting, joinery, sewing and bone sculpting. This variety gave us unique opportunity of mixing both materials and techniques.
