Dögg Guðmundsdóttir

This Icelandic designer was born in 1970 in Reykjavik and is now based in Copenhagen.Her works are distinctly influenced by natural materials, organic shapes and traditional craftmanship. The clean language of her style impressively reflect her ability to conceive and convey things in their originality. For her, art and design have an important and mutual contagious association with each other and can therefore be extremly meaningful for people. A special feature of her work is the versatility of the objects and a playful approach to the design. Therefore, many of her designs can serve two different purposes or be used in various ways. Dögg studied industrial Design at the 'Istituto Europeo di Design' in Milan and graduated at the 'Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' in Copenhagen with a master degree in Design. Her designs have been nominated many times and have been displayed at exhibitions worldwide, such as in New York, Frankfurt, Barcelona, ​​Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. Dögg's works are permanently featured at the exhibition of the 'Indianapolis Museum of Art' (USA) and the 'Fond National d'Art Contemporain i Paris' (France).Since 2010 Dögg has been developing innovative furniture and product designs in close collaboration with the Danish architect and designer Rikke Rützou Arnved. They combine traditional Scandinavian design with elements of modern technology and a passion for materials and texture. Their vision is to create 'innovative, sustainable and timeless design' for the people.
