Echoes of the Past
After the immensely successful ‘Transforme’ show at the Parisian ‘Via’ gallery
in April of last year, Páll Hjaltason and Steinunn Sigurðardóttir have been
invited to present an exhibition of product design in the National Museum
of Iceland that echoes the spirit of their country. The aptly entitled ‘Ómur’
(echoes) spans the entire range from fashion to furniture, architecture to
amulets, and a few pieces that drift comfortably in between; each and every one
of them unmistakably seeped in national tradition.
