...I’m an Icelandic knitter…the French mother of three little girls…currently living in Luxembourg…occasionnal felter…a little crazy about Icelandic sheep…loving colours…

My name is Hélène Magnússon and I was born in France in 1969. I worked for a time as a lawyer in Paris. In 1995, I made a complete change and moved to Iceland where I began studying art and design. I worked as a hired girl in a farm, a cook and a mountain guide. I married a lawyer however and we have three daughters together. I now work as a free-lance designer and have published a few books.

Iceland is an endless source of inpsiration for me. I enjoy to work with old Icelandic handiwork heritage which I try to interpret with great respect and develop in refreshingly innovative ways.

I recently moved to Luxembourg for a 4 years period because of my husband´s job. Then, we go back home.
