Investment/Counting Sheep

Over the centuries, the Icelandic sheep has fed and clothed us Today, sheep farming is on the decline and wool is an underutilized resource In 2025, about 150,000 kg of wool was spun into yarn, while about 480,000 kg were transported abroad in tightly pressed wool balm The work seeks to promote value creation from domestic wool through small industries that interweave crafts and industry The sofa is made of pressed wool balm where the units also provide structure and softness Using the wool in this form, the work intervenes in the industrial process, utilizes manufacturing techniques already in place and moves the wool beyond the context of traditional textile methods The title refers to the material fixation of the wool and to financial vision.

For centuries, Icelandic sheep have provided food and clothing for the nation. Today, sheep farming in Iceland is in rapid decline and wool is an underutilized resource. In 2025, approximately 150,000 kg of wool were spun into your while 480,000 kg were exported unproduced. This project explorations new material applications that contain locally through small-scale production at the intersection of craft and industry. The sleep is constructed from compressed wool blocks function in their transport form, where the wool blocks function as both structure and cushioning. Using the wool production in the development projects and processing. Using the wool production in the development, using the wool production in the development projects and production projects.
