Engilberts Offers Inventive Designs that Feature the Work of Jón Engilberts
Engilberts is a dynamic design company that cherishes the work of one of Iceland’s most beloved artists, Jón Engilberts. Jón was a very accomplished and distinguished artist who won the Van Gogh prize in 1939, and was given the Order of the Falcon from the president of Iceland in 1961. The owner of the company, Greta Engilberts, is Jón’s granddaughter. She owns the rights to his work and wants to celebrate his memory by printing his work onto various design products. The goal is to allow Jón’s art to live on and her dedication is to bringing Jón’s art to the people.

Engilberts, which has an online shop at www.engilberts-honnun.is, offers varied product lines with something for everyone. The company creates delicate scarves, buffs and pillows that feature Jón’s printed artwork as well as unisex T-shirts and fiber cloths to polish glasses. Stylish collars made from Icelandic goatskin and handmade jewelry that incorporates ostrich and raven feathers are also available. Each piece is carefully handcrafted with great care. Engilberts’ workshop, which holds the entire collection, is open to the public and the designer loves welcoming visitors!
