BECOME ICELAND
A journey through Iceland reveals natural, primordial materials: hand-spun wool, horsehair, horn, reindeer antler, lava stone and driftwood. Hand- crafted objects- each unique in the world- are made-to-order by Iceland's foremost artists and artisans. Starkness, restraint and strength of design reflect the stunning raw landscapes of the country- at once ancient and yet utterly modern.
Pewter 'Salt Fish' Brooch
For 1000 years a symbol of sustenance in Iceland, the motif of a salted codfish can be found from everywhere in Iceland from currency designs to sweater patterns. Here it is cleverly translated into an almost abstract pin which looks undeniably modern. A fantastic conversation piece designed by Tinsmidi.
