Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize 2018 – Brynjar Sigurðarson

A short documentary about the Icelandic designer Brynjar Sigurðarson who received the T&W Söderberg Prize 2018. Directed by Malin Ingrid Johansson, Femme Film. The award committee’s motivation: “Brynjar Sigurðarsons´ work has strong roots in two of the fundamental elements of Icelandic heritage, namely storytelling and fishing. The authenticity of his work springs from the ability to connect with the past but at the same time stand firmly in the present where international influences and new opportunities have greeted him. Brynjar´s ability to collaborate with people from different disciplines such as fishermen, filmmakers, writers, musicians, archeologists and crafts people is a key factor in all his work. His curiosity and honesty come across in his products and projects which can be described as a ‘Nordic take’ on design tendencies in Europe.” More information: https://biano.is/ https://www.maliningrid.com/ https://rohsska.se/
