Few designers in Iceland have created as many works that are present in Icelanders’ daily life as Kristín Þorkelsdóttir. Her work can be seen in the most mundane of places – in refrigerators, inside bags or at the dinner table  – or in locations as inaccessible as the Central Bank’s vaults.

The authors of the book are Bryndís Björgvinsdóttir, author and folklorist, and Birna Geirfinnsdóttir, book designer. Both hold the position of associate professor at the Iceland University of the Arts. Studio Studio (Arnar Freyr Guðmundsson, Birna Geirfinnsdóttir) designed the book which counts 240 pages.
