Dýpi – Ocean paint from the depths of Arnarfjörður
From the remote and mythical fjords of Iceland’s Westfjords comes a paint unlike any other. Dýpi, a pioneering Icelandic startup, presents a revolutionary, plastic-free paint made from calcareous algae formed over 16 million years in the North Atlantic. Harvested sustainably in Arnarfjörður—a place steeped in folklore and known for more sea monster sightings than anywhere else in Iceland—this natural material bridges design, ecology, and storytelling.
A local product with global appeal
As the demand for environmentally friendly materials grows, Dýpi’s presence at Iceland’s leading design festival signals a shift towards more sustainable solutions in architecture and interiors. With its unique Icelandic roots and commitment to ecological responsibility, this tiny startup is making waves—perhaps even as big as the ones crashing into the legendary shores of Arnarfjörður.
