Studio Flétta X 66°North

Designers

Birta Rós Brynjólfsdóttir and Hrefna

Sigurðardóttir founded Icelandic design studio Flétta at the beginning of 2018, having worked together on projects related to recycling and upcycling waste materials since 2014. In Flétta’s hands, materials and objects that have served their purpose and are no longer ‘useful’ in their previous role are given new life in a new context.

In March last year we teamed up with the duo; they selected textile offcuts from the production of 66°North clothing for experimentation - melting, sewing, and wrapping fabric together in different ways in search of the right context for the textiles. The collaboration culminated in an exhibition that conveyed their playful and experimental approach to material research, inviting the public to observe this design process, often hidden from public view.
