Robert Thiemann and Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir at DesignTalks 2024

March 25th, 2024

Interior architect, former editor of FRAME magazine and founder of Betterness, Robert Thiemann will be at DesignTalks 2024. Robert is passionate about the built environment and how individuals and communities can thrive while decreasing their impact on the planet. Author and sustainability leader Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir will also be on stage in Harpa on the 24th of April. Hrund focuses on bringing together ideas and people across sectors and disciplines to inspire creative mindsets and constructive solutions.

“Robert has deep and valuable insights into the development of spatial design over the past decades and the trends and drivers of today. It will also be interesting to hear about his career since founding FRAME, one of the most important design news platforms of our time and its development in a world dealing with excess information. Hrund comes from a very different direction, but in her newly published book, InnSæi: Heal, revive and reset with the Icelandic art of intution she also touches on the excess of information and what it is doing to our inner compass. An exhilarating exploration of the “sea within” and the importance of nurturing our intuition. Like she puts it herself: “Our greatest hope for a bright tomorrow lies in shifting the center of gravity by reconnecting within, to other beings and the natural world.”

 Hlín Helga Guðlaugsdóttir, curator of DesignTalks  

At DesignMarch this year, the current status of the world is reflected in the circus. At DesignTalks balance is sought and in the ring ideas are kept in the air, genius is fiery and flying is high!

The programme addresses global imbalances and extremes. The abundance of information, the lack of raw materials, the possibilities of the local environment, reconstruction, the global family and inner peace will be on the plate.

In this seductive magical world, anything is possible, but beneath the surface simmers the unexpected and, at times, the somewhat unpleasant.

Secure your ticket to this popular event that has been sold out the last few years. Do not miss a full day of inspiration, innovation and creative powers!
