Ding Dong 2024


This project was made for Hæ/Hi Vol III | Welcome.

Materials: Icelandic poplar, plywood, acrylic, PLA, water, light, instrument parts, technology.

Ding Dong is a lo-fi arrival announcing machine. Rather than producing a high pitched sound you can hear over loud music or when watching TV I propose aesthetically pleasing door"bells". One that flashes a light, one that produces a smoke signal (and could be infused with scent like lavender or lemon), and one that creates a tambourine sound by mechanically moving tambourine jingles back and forth.

Urban Nomad shelves 2017



Designed for FÓLK Reykjavík.

The Urban Nomad shelves are multi-functional. They are designed so you can arrange them into grids, creating very aesthetically pleasing forms, however you see fit. 









Upcycled side table 2019


Designed for FÓLK Reykjavík.

After releasing the Urban Nomad wall shelves in 2017 FÓLK Reykjavík asked me to add to the collection. I sketched around 20 ideas, where I used the same materials and the same wooden shelves (to simplify production) but in a new setting. 





Krafla lightshade 2014


A lightshade designed by me and Þorleifur Gunnar, working from under JL Ad Agency, for Landsvirkjun, made for a geothermal expo in Harpa. The original shape of these light shades is adapted directly from Landsvirkjun’s dome shaped drillhouses (borholuhús) designed by architect Einar Þorsteinn in 1980.
