Svala Jónsdóttir is an interior architect and interior designer working with a calm, considered approach to the built environment in Iceland and abroad. Since graduating in 2012, she has developed residential and commercial projects in close collaboration with clients, with the goal of creating spaces that reflect both their needs and their values.

Her practice is rooted in the philosophy of Slow Living — a conscious approach to design, honest materiality and sustainable solutions. She believes that spaces shaped by natural, healthy materials can positively influence well-being and foster a deeper connection to everyday life.

In every project, Svala seeks to simplify and distill — to find the essence of a space and give it a contemporary, warm and grounded character. Through thoughtful design, she aims to support well-being, sustainability and enduring quality.

Svala is a licensed building designer in Iceland and a member of the Icelandic Association of Furniture and Interior Architects (FHI).
