Ceramicist Guðbjörg Káradóttir gives diners an extra layer to their culinary experience by creating carefully crafted tableware. Guðbjörg studied at the Icelandic Academy of Arts and also spent two years working at the Glit ceramics factory in Reykjavik. Using her artistic skills and knowledge of small-scale production she established her business, Ker, to supply restaurants with well made artisanal products for food service. Inspired by the world around her, Guðbjörg draws inspiration from the atmosphere of the restaurants she designs for, producing bespoke pieces which reflect their style and vibe. She also uses the natural landscape of Iceland to inform her colour palette, incorporating volcanic ash into her pieces.
