DESIGN MARCH 2012

For four days at the end of March Reykjavik will be awash with design events – during the festival, hundreds of opening galas, exhibitions and other events will be organised within the city.

Representatives from all sections of the industry from architects to product designers and jewellery designers to ceramic artists are expected to attend. The festival will begin with a series of lectures, which will this year feature architect and musician Tuomas Toivonen among others.
