Spil is a beginning of a collection of low tech travel games in the form of accessories. It is a back to basics reply to the smartphone overuse of the present. A reconnection to the physical world and nature, these toys are meant for playing and relaxing during alone time. A peaceful distraction.
The concept is based on a materialistic research on the primitive game traditions in human history. Spil honours these traditions and preserves them.
Spil is a part of the Rendez-wood? product line, where the current value of Icelandic wood, and it’s possibilities as a production material in the near future, were investigated.
Icelandic forest is young and the main wood produce comes from pruning to upkeep a healthy forest. The small branches are ideal for small items and jewelry.
