Episode 559 - DESIGNMARCH 2025

Today on RÚV English Radio, the design festival coming to the capital for the 17th year.

DesignMarch (https://www.honnunarmidstod.is/en/honnunarmars) is the country’s leading design festival, with exhibitions, events and conversations of and about design.

Halla Helgadóttir is the managing director of Iceland Design and Architecture, and she told Darren what we can expect this week - as well as, somewhat topically, Lavaforming (https://www.honnunarmidstod.is/en/feneyjatviaeringurinn) - a proposal on how the force of lava can be turned into a valuable resource, which debuts at the Venice Biennale.
