Our goal is to meet the wants and the needs of people living in and visiting Reykjavik, and at the same time continue to keep Reykjavik unique. We are happy to welcome Collage the Shop with their strong brands to our boutique destination Hafnartorg. With the harbor and glaciers in the background and with Olafur Eliasson´s amazing concert hall Harpa as a neighbor, we have created a new meeting place for food, fashion, and culture. Our new destination is a nice blend with Icelandic and international qualities.”
