Brynjar Sigurðarson on the relationship between objects and stories
I Am Not a Designer/Recorded 2012
A close reading, kept within reach.
Brynjar Sigurðarson takes product design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Iceland in 2012, the conversation is grounded in Brynjar's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
The Design Indaba #GlobalGrad alumnus has been awarded with the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize 2018.
