The Airbags are designed by Studio Flétta for Icelandic Design brand FÓLK Reykjavík. The Airbag project started with a dialogue between FÓLK and a local car part sale in Iceland. FÓLK then recruited the designers at Studio Flétta to visit the car part sale and create a design from materials that were not currently resold or reused by the dealership.
Birta Rós Brynjólfsdóttir and Hrefna Sigurðardóttir together form the design studio Flétta. Flétta’s aspiration is to reuse and upcycle materials into unique handmade products that work as a basis for social commentary.
