Many people included here will be crucial in continuing to establish Iceland as a design heavyweight, but perhaps none so much as the final highlight of this trip. Yes, we visited the President of Iceland. Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, in his home. (In fact, we all enjoyed wine and canapés together). And hey, it turns out he really likes Icelandic design too, and sees it as an important contributor to his country’s success. If he believes it, it can only mean good things for the Icelandic design scene. Here, President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson mingles with journalists. Photo by: Tiffany Orvet
