It was decided that furniture and
interior fittings should be designed
and made in lceland. Office furni-
ture, shelves and cupboards sport
a teak veneer whilst table legs and
shelve supports are made of stain-
less steel. The same applies to fur-
niture and interiors on the reception
floor, where the dining and other
furnitures are in the same style. On
the roof are timber pallets and sun
canopies, which act as protection
against the sun on warm days.
Timber pots for trees are also
meant to create a cosy and warm
atmosphere.
The concept is to apply lcelandic
design more in lcelandic embassies
abroad than has been the case
until now, with the exception of the
newly-built Embassy of lceland in
Berlin. In Scandinavia, it has for a
long time been an accepted policy
to reflect the uniqueness of each
country in the design of embassy
accommodation and act as a
showcase of national design both
with regard to architecture, furni-
ture- and industrial design.
Iceland is now following in this pos-
itive direction. ■
