A certain atmosphere surrounds their designs, it conjures up the feelings of old fashioned feasts, home made food and the carnival.
Brynhildur and Guðfinna Mjöll both graduated from product design at Listaháskóli Íslands in 2004. Both made short stops along the way to their degrees in other countries as guest students. Guðfinna Mjöll at Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien in Austria and Brynhildur got her second BA degree at Gerrit Rietweld Academy in the Netherlands (2004-2005).
