The financial crisis of 2008 hit Iceland particularly hard, but even this some of the hardy islanders have turned into a positive. “I would say lack of tradition can be a huge benefit, being young and free of big names gives designers here a clean canvas to work with,” says Halla Helgadóttir. “In the atmosphere of the financial crisis in 2008 the interest and focus on design, creatives, startups and innovation became very strong here.
