Overview
During Reykjavik’s Bicentennial Anniversary in 1986, Reykjavik and Seattle signed a sister city pact that charted course for 36 years of cultural and educational exchange. In the spirit of this partnership, the Seattle design community and the Icelandic Design Centre organized Hæ/Hi: Designing Friendship, the first collaborative design exhibition between Reykjavik and Seattle. Sixteen studios from various disciplines exhibited their interpretation of how we express something about ourselves, our personality, and our culture upon meeting others.
Hæ/Hi: Designing Friendship, was featured in Design March, Reykjavik’s annual design festival in March 2020. The exhibition traveled to Seattle in 2022.
