Anna Thorunn

ANNA THORUNN is the Reykjavík label of product designer Anna Þórunn Hauksdóttir, whose objects sit between sculpture and daily use. Vessels, lamps, textiles, ceramics, glassware and collectible pieces share a deliberately spare aesthetic, in which a simple idea is carried through material and proportion until it becomes something you want to keep picking up.

Hauksdóttir graduated in product design in 2007 and founded her label the same year, choosing to build a personal collection rather than a seasonal one. Her references are personal and often unexpected: the Roma bowls, ceramic centrepieces in two colours, are dedicated to the Italian capital where her path as a designer began, and she names all things weird and grotesque as a constant source of inspiration.
