‘Straight from the horse's mouth', is what one can say to describe this family-run gallery and jewelry shop. The proud owners are esteemed goldsmiths who design it all themselves. They also use minerals not commonly associated with jewelry design, such as Icelandic stone and lava. How's that for getting natural! So stunning is this work, that it attracts clientele, such as the Queen of Denmark, the Queen of England and other royal figures.
The vibrant and historical culture of Iceland comes alive in this store, made famous by its myriad of hand made articles, such as bags, mittens, scarves and decorated bed-linen. Managed and designed by a feisty lady, this little gallery makes Iceland an unforgettable memory for all those who stop by. A gifted interior decorator as well, she will advise you on colours, design and furniture, and will even come to your home (within Iceland, of course), for a personal evaluation at about 9700 kr an hour. The designs have also been part of many an exhibition, and if you are looking for something to spruce up your pad, a couple of hours at Ma Mi Mo might just reveal some uniquely tasteful surprises.
STEiNUNN is the luxury knit-wear label of Steinunn Sigrud. Steinunn returned to her native Iceland after working for 6 years with Calvin Klein and five years with Gucci. She now has a boutique on the main shopping street of Reykjavik, Laugavegur. Her designs are inspired by the long Icelandic winter that she grew up with. In the store lava-and-glass sculptures by Icelandic sculptors set the perfect ambiance.
