Gunnarsstofnun, in collaboration with HAKK Gallery, presents the group exhibition HOOKED, opening on Saturday, April 12. The show features 30 designers, artists, craftspeople, and architects — both Icelandic and international — exploring the concept of the coat hook through diverse materials, forms, and approaches.
Inspired by a similar exhibition at Gallerí Greip during the 1996 Reykjavík Arts Festival, several original participants return nearly 30 years later. The show invites reflection on how design responds to changing times, asking a simple yet layered question: What is a hook?
