"Pantið áhrifin frá Móður Jörð" or "Order To Effect"
I would like to congratulate you on the fact that the project "Pantið áhrifin frá Móður Jörð" or "Order To Effect", was yesterday awarded the Presidents' Innovation Prize in Iceland! Your graduate, Robert Petersen who made an exchange to us in 2009 worked on this project with 3 other students. From our academy: Audur Ösp Gudmundsdóttir and Embla Vigfúsdóttir + Katharina Lötzsch, product design exchange student from Bauhaus University, Weimar.
Bobby was here yesterday to accept the award with his fellow students at the presidents' home in Iceland, Bessastaðir.
Shortly, about the project: "Take Order" is an ideological restaurant where experience, education (enlightenment) and awareness for the environment come together. The way the food is presented, sustainability and the fact that the restaurant is mobile - is what makes this restaurant unique. The project was carried out with the greatest awareness for nature and where the focus of the production was both honesty and "locality".
