Details

Freyjugardur is a public garden dedicated to the voices of Icelandic female poets. The park features lyrical inscriptions on bookstands from five contemporary poets. Light bollards guide visitors along a pathway, welcoming them into this serene space. 2700K lighting creates a gentle ambiance that minimizes distraction while maintaining safety. A decorative lantern creates a comforting space, while RGBW lights highlight a canopy of leaves above, shifting colours to mark special occasions. A mural artwork 'Yggdrasil' transforms at dusk, when a gobo projector frames the centrepiece and raises heads of passers-by for a spectacular discovery.
