Emily,
http://www.icelanddesign.is is a great design resource (and they are working to translate the entire site into English). Also, http://grapevine.is/ is a great alternative newspaper (in English) with lots of personality.

Very cool post indeed.
If anyone out there is thinking about traveling to Iceland to check out the funky Icelandic design scene, the best place to find flights is http://www.dohop.com. One of the few search sites that actually lists all Icelandic carriers as well as international!

I am so glad you decided to do a 3 part piece on Icelandic design. I lived there for two summers (and only one cold month in the winter) and I always rave to people about the amazing artists working in Reykjavik. I live in kansas city and constantly look at my pictures from Iceland to gather ideas for my next design project. It is truly a magical place full of creativity!!!

This is very cool–my husband spent a year in Iceland, and I only got a week to visit but we can’t wait to go back (next summer?) Does anyone have any suggestions for other websites/blogs on art and design in Iceland?

I just reread the post and saw that the Louisa Matthíasdóttir link directs towards a google image search - there is also (newly updated) site at louisamatthiasdottir.com for more images. last comment I promise!
