Fresh Icelandic design on Birkiland!

Birkiland is a new design-website I just love! Their goal is to introduce, sell and support Icelandic design, and I have to say that they have some really good products. We have heard the labels “Scandinavian design” and “Made in Italy”(just to mention a few of the design labels), but how come Icelandic design doesn’t have a stronger name within Design? After all they have some pretty cool stuff to show of on Birkiland! The products are innovative, modern, fun and untraditional, and I will show you some of them here….
