Hæ/Hi: Designing Friendship

Hæ/Hi: Designing Friendship

A selection of designers and design teams from the friendship cities of Seattle and Reykjavík exhibit works based on, you guessed it: friendship. How do we introduce ourselves upon the first encounter? Do we reflect our personality and culture from the very beginning? How do we use our senses to acquaint and connect? What do we share, and what are we curious to know?

The designers joined in Iceland in May to premiere their works at the DesignMarch festival 2022 and now the exhibition will travel to Seattle, opening in Maria Bianco Gallery on October 7th.

The idea behind the exhibition sparked from a conversation between Darin Montgomery, Seattle-based founder of Urbancase and Fin, and Halla Helgadóttir, director of Iceland Design and Architecture, during a series of Taste of Iceland events held in the USA.
