BYBIBI

A utilitarian with a twist could be used to describe designer Sigríður Hjaltdal Pálsdóttir's approach to ceramic design. An Icelander educated in Barcelona, Sigríður Hjaltdal Pálsdóttir or Bibi began her studies at the ceramic division at The Icelandic Academy of the Arts in 1996. In 1998 she attended the Escola Massana, Centre d'art i disseny in Barcelona and graduated from there in 2002 with a diploma in industrial design. Bibi's postgraduate work at Davinci escola d'art (2003-2005) focused on moulding and ceramic techniques... As a designer Bibi continually explores her field. In addition to several different post-graduate courses in product development, production and marketing, Bibi devotes time to continually challenging herself and her sense of design. A three month residency at the Uganda Ceramics workshop in Kampala, Uganda in 2009 expanded her vision and approach in multiple ways... The bybibi product line is a versatile and adaptable multipurpose set of porcelain..
