Siggi Eggertsson, Berlin

Siggi Eggertsson was born in Akureyri, a small town on the north coast of Iceland. He first showed interested in Graphic Design at the age of 14 when he became involved in local design programs creating posters for jazz concerts and art exhibitions.

 

When he turned 18, his vision started to expand beyond his remote home, so he applied to the Iceland Academy of Arts in Reykjavik to study Graphic Design. In 2005 he moved to New York to work at the Karlssonwilker design studio followed by a move to Berlin to study in the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee.

 

Early in 2007 Siggi moved to London to become part of the Big Active family and

contribute to publications like Dazed and Confused, The New York Times and Arkitip plus commercial work with H&M, Stussy and various music projects. Siggi has a unique and

complete visual identity; his approach to work takes in his design background, which results in work of hidden depth and sense of purpose. He now lives and works in Berlin."
