The Reykjavík Grapevine


Best Place To Stock Up On Local Design: Kraum

Don’t underestimate this little wooden mid-1700s house. Kraum may be the oldest house in Reykjavík but it features the most modern work from over 70 designers from all over Iceland. You’ll be able to find the coolest Icelandic designs of almost anything from textiles and jewellery to bowls and chairs. We heard that all items are actually selected by a special committee to make sure you get a feel for what some of Iceland’s best designers are up to.
