About us
Vorhús is a design company, located in Akureyri, north Iceland. Vorhús works at product development as well as selling carefully selected high quality products.
The company was established at the end of the year 2007 by artist Sveinbjörg Hallgrímsdóttir and her daughter Fjóla Björk Karlsdóttir. At first Sveinbjörg sold her design under the label“Sveinbjörg”. The company grew and Sveinbjörg changed the name of the company to Vorhús when more designers came along and added their creation to the collection. Vorhús translates to "The house of spring"
Today the company is run and owned by Fjóla Björk Karlsdóttir CEO and designers Sigríður Haraldsdóttir and Eydís Ólafsdóttir.
Vorhús design is inspired by Icelandic nature and heritage, offering a unique perspective to our surroundings and history.
