The weather was a cold five Celsius earlier this month when Reykjavík’s design scene united for the DesignMarch festival (originally staged in even colder March), but the sun mostly shined all week for the 18th edition, energising the evenings until 10:30pm. Exhibitions and talks popped up in boat-building sheds and former fishing warehouses. Experiential perfumery Fischersund, founded by Jónsi of Sigur Rós, performed a ‘family reunion’ at a 1920s cinema.
