SHELLter (a play on the words shell and shelter) is a designed as a sanctuary for children and grown-ups alike to find peace and quiet in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The three spaces are inspired by tortoises, snails, shellfish and other animals who can retreat into their shell when they need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00deYKJ\u00d3 (the Icelandic word for make-believe) is a world of costumes, installations, workshops and adventures for children and their families in the field of textile-, toy- and experience design. Designers with a varied background work in co-operation with education specialists, scientists and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SHELLter was developed during the \u00deYKJ\u00d3-designers’ residency in Ger\u00f0ur’s Studio and is in dialogue with the work of Ger\u00f0ur Helgad\u00f3ttir. While working on and developing SHELLter, the designers collaborated with biologists at the Natural History Museum of K\u00f3pavogur. Air quality, light and acoustics are intrinsic to the design of SHELLter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00deYKJ\u00d3 is an interdisciplinary design team consisting of designers Sigr\u00ed\u00f0ur Sunna Reynisd\u00f3ttir, Ninna \u00de\u00f3rarinsd\u00f3ttir, Erla \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir and Sigurbj\u00f6rg Stef\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
