Dögg Design | Asymmetric Functional Folds

Dögg Guðmundsdóttir, born in 1970 in Reykjavik, Is an Icelandic designer based in Copenhagen. Her works are distinctly influenced by the naturalness of materials, organic shapes and traditional craftsmanship. The clean language of her style impressively reflects her ability to conceive and convey things in their originality. For her, art and design have an important contagious association to each other and can therefore give a more emotional meaning to the people. A special feature of her work is the versatility of the objects and a playful approach to the design, thus many of her designs can serve two different purposes or be used in various ways. Dögg studied industrial Design at the ‘Istituto Europeo di Design’ in Milan from 1992 to 1996, after that she studied at the Danish Design School from 1996 until 1998 as a guest student in the glass, product and graphics department. In 2011 she graduated at the ‘Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ in Copenhagen with a master degree in Design. Her designs have been nominated many times and got displayed at exhibitions worldwide, such as in New York, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. Since 2010 Dögg develops innovative furniture and product designs in close collaboration with the Danish architect and designer Rikke Rützou Arnved. Here, they add traditional Scandinavian design with elements of modern technology and their passion for materials and texture. Their vision is to create ‘innovative, sustainable and timeless design’ people. The focus is to preserve and respect nature while creating new designs.
