We wanted to do something special
for this year’s DesignMarch, seeing
as we had so much fun at the last
edition. We thought: we can write
lots of articles and publish special
pull-out to go along with Design-
March, but then again we write lots
of articles and publish a special
pull-outs all the time. Something
more was in order, and that some-
thing more came to us one day
as we were strolling through the
design shops of 101 Reykjavík.
“Seems like there are lots of cool
things going on here,” we thought.
“Some of the things are even cooler and
more excellent than others. We should
assemble a panel of experts and have
them choose their favourite ‘designer
products’ and ‘product lines’ from last
year and award whoever they choose!
What a great idea!”
And it was a pretty good idea, if we
say so ourselves. We like to try and
affect our community in positive ways,
and rewarding folks for creating and
instigating nice things seems to be a
nice way to go about it.
We assembled our panel with the
help of the Iceland Design Centre (as
most of us Grapeviners aren’t really
versed in the art of design, at least
those of us that write the copy). It con-
sisted of the following people:
Hörður Kristbjörnsson
Reykjavík Grapevine’s art director
Halla Bogadóttir
from the boutique Kraum
Kjartan Sturluson
from the web boutique Birkiland
Tinna Gunnarsdóttir
from the Icelandic Academy of the
arts
Hildur Yeoman
designer, appointed by the Iceland
Design Centre
After assembling, the panel set itself the
following ground rules:
1. Awards are being granted for the
‘Product of 2011’ and ‘Product Line of
2011’. We will name two runners-up in
each category, in alphabetical order. All
choices will be argued for in a concise
manner.
2. Only products and product lines that
saw light in 2010 are eligible.
3. A ‘product’ is a tangible item. We will
consider everything from ceramics to
jewellery, along with any other product
design. Clothing and fashion design are
not eligible, however.
So, there you go. Welcome to the inau-
gural edition of The Reykjavík Grapevine
Product Awards! Congratulations to the
winners!

Andrea Maack’s perfumes: Smart,
Craft, Sharp
The idea behind the scents is novel,
as they are based upon drawings by
the artist Andrea Maack. The piece
was originally made as a work of visual
art and displayed in several shows in
2008 and 2009. Subsequently, Andrea
decided to develop the scents into
a product. A new process followed,
where many contributed. The results,
the three scents Smart, Craft and
Sharp, were displayed at Spark Design
Space during the summer of 2010.
The product’s presentation and
packaging is exemplary. Different
aspects work well together and are
made in cooperation with outstanding
professionals from different fields (the
story of that fascinating process may
be read at www.andreamaack.com).
The resulting product is at the same
time a thoroughly thought out piece of
merchandise and a moving work of art.

Runners-up (in alphabetical order):
Næringarhjólið / The Wheel of Nu-
trition by Hafsteinn Júlíusson
‘Næringarhjólið’ or ‘The Wheel of Nutri-
tion’ was designed by Hafsteinn Júlíus-
son in cooperation with Rui Pereira. It
brings to mind the combination of the
different foods we imbibe, whether we
want to increase our girth, decrease
it or keep it constant. ‘The Wheel of
Nutrition’ is simultaneously a beautiful
product and one that is a clear refer-
ence to the extremities we can find in
today’s world.

Þéttsetrið by Hanna Jónsdóttir
‘Þéttsetrið’ is a novel item that can
serve different groups and purposes.
One can obviously climb within it, but
also sit and talk. ‘Þéttsetrið’ demarcates
space, creates shelter, draws itself
into the environment but also speaks
of being inside or outside. It has great
possibilities as a tool for cities.

Vík Prjónsdóttir
In 2005, Vík Prjónsdóttir released their
first product line, which was made in
cooperation with Víkurprjón from Vík í
Mýrdal. The product line immediately
received much attention, which has
remained constant since.
A magnificent world is created be-
hind each product, rich with history and
beautiful metaphors. The product line is
made in Iceland in its entirety, from the
ideas’ inception until the final product.
Vík Prjónsdóttir do not run away from
their heritage, choosing rather to work
with it in creative and fresh ways. Their
products evolve and constantly surprise.
Vík Prjónsdóttir prove yet again
that one can design, produce and sell
unique goods in Iceland.
Runners-up (in alphabetical order):
Bility
The design of the Bility product line is
integral. It reflects the initial goals of
working with Icelandic nature while
keeping simplicity at the forefront.
The leap from idea to finished product
works well, and every finishing touch
(packaging and installation) is exem-
plary.
Bility's ideal of rec uiting young
designers and thus opening up spaces
for young people to work on design,
thereby getting fresh new ideas into the
company, is to be commended.

Scintilla
Scintilla is a beautiful and consistent
product line of household textiles
designed by Linda Björg Árnadóttir. The
product line includes a wide assortment
of household textiles that is based on
the visuals of Linda Björg, everything
from towels and woollen blankets to
bedding. The technical implementation
of the product is exemplary. Every prod-
uct is made of first grade materials and
the production and finishing of them
are of the highest order.
