Harpa Concert Hall
Reykjavik, Iceland
Harpa Concert Hall is one of the most remarkable buildings in Iceland. It houses the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, the Icelandic Opera, the Reykjavík Orchestra, and others. The hall is a real focal point in the country's musical life, as many stars have performed there, be it rock, classical music, jazz, or something else.
On Harpa's 10th anniversary, a new reception was prepared to serve guests better. Gagarín was commissioned to design and produce several installations in the reception architecture designed by Sigurði Einarsson and Diljá Sigurðardóttir at Batteríid.
