“The scent of cinnamon, crunchy pine cones, soft bundles of wool and the bright colours of dried slices of orange”.

We softly open our senses at the beginning of advent. We focus on the scents and textures of the season. When creating mobiles, we practice the art of balance and learn how different things can coexist and create a cohesive unity.

The workshop is led by ÞYKJÓ design team, dedicated to designing for children and with children. Their design projects include music installation space Hljóðhimnar at Harpa Music Hall, the furnitecture collections SHELLter and Nests and The Golden Record – Sending Music to Space participation project. ÞYKJÓ has been shortlisted for The Icelandic Design Awards in 2021 and 2022 and was nominated for the international YAM awards in 2023.

This event takes place in the Workshop, education space at the 2nd floor of Museum of Design and Applied art. It is a part of the Advent Festival program of Garðabær on November 30th. Admission is free and open to all.
