ABOUT

Based in Copenhagen, Icelandic designer Dögg Guðmundsdóttir studied industrial design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. She continued her glass, product and graphic design studies at the Danish Design School and received her master’s degree in design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen with a focus on design management with sustainable innovation and new strategies for large and small producers.

Many of her designs are akin to functional sculptures or pieces of art, while others are part of a collection. The spare language of her style reflects her ability to conceive products with streamlined Scandinavian originality. The working fields range from one off items, graphic, industrial- and furniture design to design management, consulting, producing, censoring and teaching.

Among the companies Dögg has designed for are Ligne Roset and Christofle in France, Norr 11 and FDB-møbler in Denmark, B-sweden and Designhouse Stockholm in Sweden and Sólóhúsgögn in Iceland.
