Icelanders have always had to live with mother nature and will continue to do so. Some of the design can be seen here that uses the inspiration that our surroundings offer us.

In Iceland, with a population of only 300,000, can look back a few hundred years to find common ancestors to every inhabitant, making the people of this rough northern island truly one big family. Moreover, the modern Icelander only has to look back two or three generations to discover a sheep-growing farmer in his line of genes. Historically, it is often claimed that without the hardy Icelandic sheep, providing meat, milk and wool, the isolated Icelandic human population would not have survived centuries of hardship and poverty.

Ring after Ring

Each flower is handmade of plastic clay in Iceland, at first just by the designer Steinunn Vala, but now also by a few of her friends and family members.
Because each flower is handmade no two are exactly the same. In certain ways the making of the jewelry is similar to the work of artists like painters, as the flowers have a tendency to change and involve with the person making them, even without being planned.
Each ring may differ a little in color, size and shape.

The Icelandic wool sweater has been part of Icelandic heritage for centuries. Beautiful design, warm, light and trendy.

The Icelandic wool As a breed, the Iceland Sheep is unique. The purity of the strain has been protected by centuries of isolation and a total absence of contact with other breeds of sheep. By the same token, the wool it produces has no counterpart anywhere. Evolving over 1100 years of exposure to the sub-Arctic climate, Icelandic wool has a distinctive combination of inner and outer fibers. The outer fibers are long, glossy, tough and water repellent, while the inner ones are fine, soft and insulating, providing a high resistance to cold. Nature reigns supreme through the whole manufacturing process of the Icelandic wool. Only natural energy sources such as geothermal and hydroelectric power are used in its production, while the sheep from which the wool is harvested still graze freely in summer, as they have always done, on vast tracts of virgin land. The Icelandic wool and it’s natural benefits (being warm, water repellent, lightweight, breathable, odor resistant and biodegradable) is therefore exceptionally fitting as a raw material for designing multifunctional apparel, suitable for outdoor activity as well as city life.
