Organic Toys

First to recommend

Description

Apparently Icelandic kids have been playing with bones and horns like toys for centuries. I think it's kind of rad that you can buy this sort of thing packaged like a plaything.

Angels Postcards

First to recommend

Description

As I understand it, the average Icelander believes in fairies, so these Angels postcards--featuring characters as diverse as icecream & cookie angel and sick angel (pictured)--make a kind of sense.

Fishbone Model Making

First to recommend

Description

Sticking for a minute with the slightly bizarre theme of Icelandic kids playing with bones, this Fishbone Model kit is designed for figure creation out of fish bones. Sounds like a comedy sketch, right? Still awesome, especially as it's called Something Fishy.

Ísbjörn / Ice Bear

First to recommend

Description

It doesn't seem like there are many places you can get a full-sized bear rug anymore, but this Ice Bear rug presents a clever variation. 15 Icelandic sheepskins make up the fur coat, all sewn in patter of a traditional butcher's diagram. (via BLTD)

Birkiland Hangers

First to recommend

Description

A simple reinterpretation of the utility of an everyday object, these Hangers are a fun and unconventional option for coat hangers. Sort of zany, but cups sticking out of your walls can be interesting even without coats hanging from them.
