Infuse is a part of a collection of items made from icelandic wood.
The collection originated in a workshop called “A Design Rendezvous with Icelandic Forestry” that was based on exploring the potential of locally produced wood. First time visitors to Iceland often notice a lack of forests in the landscape. Viking settlers cleared the forest for their pastures many centuries ago but today Icelanders make amends for the mistakes of their forefathers and there are more trees planted per head of population than in any other country in the world. Iceland is therefore well on it’s way to forest sustainability and it is estimated that in the next few decades local wood production will expand so greatly that imported wood will no longer be needed. The Rendez-wood? workshop projects are about exploring the current value of Icelandic wood and it’s possibilities as a production material in the near future.
