DesignMarch took place in Reykjavik for the 5th time 2013
With the introduction of twelve new products for four manufacturers DesignMarch 2013 was bound to be an exiting event. Most of the products have been in development since last summer, a relatively short period for so many designs. The last two weeks were hectic with so many small details to sort out and take care of - this is the most rewarding time of the process, seeing the move from drawing/prototype to a final product. Still, there are details in some of the items that need further attention so the job is not entirely finished yet.
It was a real pleasure working with skilled craftsmen towards the common goal of presenting quality Icelandic furniture at the show. We all learned a lot from the process.
Almost 2000 attended the opening in Harpa Concert Hall
With an estimate of almost 2000 people attending the opening night in Harpa and a large number of visitors throughout the whole show it was a great success.
So now it is just a matter of carrying on and looking forward to DesignMarch 2014!
AXIS presented six new designs - Stemma a new line of office tables and screens - Einrúm (english: Solitude) high-back sofa with a low work table - Bylgja (english: Wave) a multi purpose table on wheels - Símaskjól (english: Phone shelter) a wall mounted phone-booth and the Lauf (english: Leaf) stackable multi purpose chair.
