Furniture and objects, houses and cities, are not used for a particular purpose only, but also have symbolic value, appeal to one’s common sense, and serve to inspire.” ■ SINDRI Þegar byggja skal með málmum MIRAWALL ♦ 10 ára verksmiðjuábyrgð ♦ yfir80litir ♦ 50 my dufthúð tryggir endingu ♦ frábær gæði á hagstæðu verði Sigtún 42, Reykjavík - Arkit: Arkitektar sf., Verkt: Ármannsfell.
