Land of Ice
The first of my new regional roundup column is up on design*sponge! Every month I’ll be exploring a different place, discovering designers and see how where they live influences their work. Today’s is the first of three posts on Iceland. Click here to check it out and stay tuned for the next two Tuesdays for more INCREDIBLE Icelandic designers.
{above: The Naked Ape store in Reykjavik from my trip. Totally fun and hip and I love how Iceland makes neon colors look super hip. On top of it there was a DJ rocking out the store that night for Iceland Airwaves. Read more about Sara, the designer behind it in the round-up…and all of my Iceland posts can be found here.}
design for mankind.

Here’s some shameless self-promotion, from a regular reader here and of D*S: I’m a finalist in a contest hosted by Gridskipper to win a trip to Reykjavik. You can read my description of what I’d do there, including going to Naked Ape, as well as vote for me here:

Voting lasts until Friday (4/25). Thanks, and sorry to do this…

You got my vote, Katie (at least I think…most confusing voting system ever). If you win will you take me with you? ;) I never made it to Blue Lagoon on my last visit! Great picks! You already sounds like an Iceland expert.

Thanks! Yeah, the voting system definitely leaves something to be desired…I’ll let you know if I win!
