Iceland Design Centre celebrates its second
anniversary this year. During the brief time it has operated, a great awakening
has taken place in regards to interest in design and the creative powers and
possibilities of Icelandic design. Wherever there are new projects and
construction, quality design may well be the key to their success. Recent
examples of designers’ success in various fields have resulted in growing
appreciation of the importance of design. There are also numerous instances of
fruitful collaboration between designers and Icelandic companies. After all,
great design is a powerful tool in a toughening competition.
DesignMarch is our
most important undertaking: a four-day festival for designers, companies and
design enthusiasts; the public, foreign guests and tourists. During DesignMarch,
you will get the opportunity to explore a variety of projects by Icelandic
designers and architects.
