"The supernatural is very natural"
Studio Brynjar & Veronika
Veronika Sedlmair and Brynjar Sigurðarson form the Icelandic-German studio working in the field of art and design.
Since 2011 the studio has been creating a body of work driven from theatrical and natural references, linking anthropology, geology and storytelling. They use various media such as drawings, photography, video, sound, and objects in order to convey their work in a fruitful and a mythical way.
The studio has been working on various projects ranging from "The Silent Village" furniture collection for Galerie Kreo, Paris, to a new instrument, the "Circle Flute", supported by Lafayette Anticipations, Paris, which was played in Björk’s recent Cornucopia concert tour. In recent years, the studio has worked on projects for the crystal manufacturer Swarovski and designed a collection for Thomas Eyck.
Between 2018- 2020 they held private exhibitions at the Design Museum Helsinki, Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg and in Hafnarborg Museum in Iceland. Their site- specific installation Animated Geology was a part of the Norwegian biennale Tendenser, in Moss in 2020. Between 2016- 2017, the studio worked on an ambitious project with archeologists from the MDAA Archaeological Museum in Arles and Atelier LUMA in Arles. In November 2015 a book was released about their work by the independent Dutch book publisher Onomatopee, arranged by the curator and design writer Sophie Krier and the graphic designers ÉricandMarie. In addition to his work at the studio, since 2013 Brynjar has been teaching at ECAL-École cantonale d’art de Lausanne.
The studio received the Swiss Design Awards, Swarovski Designers of the Future Award in Design Miami/Basel, Hublot Design Prize and in 2018, Brynjar received the prestigious Nordic Thorsten and Vanja Söderberg prize.
Upcoming projects include: Glass research with CIRVA, Marseille, new objects for Galerie Kreo, Paris. Site specific wall reliefs, performative project in collaboration with Icelandic metal singers and a public installation for Ornamenta 24 in Pforzheim, Germany.
