DesignMarch, a week-long celebration of all things design and innovation, has finally arrived. Despite the confusion with Icelandic calendars — it was summer just a week ago, but now we’re back to March — the festival has a plethora of events that our team plans to attend, and we highly encourage you to do the same.
DesignMarch activities are scheduled to take place in different parts of the city starting today, May and will run until Sunday, May 7.
