Island is a gallery and boutique dedicated to Iceland: its landscapes, its legends, its puffins – the country's charming bird emblem – but above all, its formidable creative vitality.
The Northern Lights? Yes, but also landscapes of great diversity.
Björk, Sigur Rós and Ásgeir? Yes, but also dozens of musicians and groups who compete in inventiveness in all genres (and even bossanova in Icelandic!)
Pierre Loti's The Fishermen of Iceland and the detective novels of Arnaldur Indriðason? Yes, but also tales and legends, and modern literary production and
contemporary, recently translated, which paints a more nuanced and complex portrait of society.
Puffins? Yes, but also the diversity of the birdlife, the mischievousness of the horses, the only ones in the world to have five gaits, including the comfortable tölt, and the omnipresence of sheep in the landscape, three times more numerous than the inhabitants.
