KSW in Iceland

After spending beautiful days in the lands of Ice and Fire, we are delighted to share images from the now open exhibition, Voyage in History - The Bridal Costume Exhibition, at the National Museum of Iceland. The exhibition will remain open until 9 May 2027.
To accompany the incredible opening of the show, Kristjana attended the DesignTalk conference as part of Iceland Design Week.
Thank you so much to everyone who came to visit - and to those who could not make it, we are excited to now share a glimpse into the exhibition and its stories.

Alongside the exhibition, we are now launching the Brúðarbúningur Map of Iceland.
A fantastical map of Iceland, framed by blooming flora and fauna, where volcanic moths drift across the sky and whale skeletons swim above people’s homes.

The stories it tells are real, yet their depiction is surreal - blending Icelandic history, nature, folklore, and imagination into a map that traces sensations and memories rather than names and facts.

In the north, cherubs carry silver pieces, transforming religious objects into fashionable jewellery. In the south-west, magnifying glasses draw the eye into the story of the Brúðarbúningur: the women who wore it, the weddings it witnessed, and the remarkable journey it undertook through Icelandic history.
Below, waves crash against green moss as foreign travellers arrive on Iceland’s shores. In the north, cherubs carry silver pieces, transforming religious objects into fashionable jewellery.
