    Catch of the day


    Studio Björn Steinar
    2018





    Catch of the day is fighting food waste - one spirit bottle at a time!
    Spirits produced from leftover fruits prolongs the ‘best before’ date to infinity - since alcohol over 23% can never go bad. Armed with a simple open-source distilling machine, Björn Steinar is seeking innovative ways to fight food waste, and at the same time the project serves as an icebreaker in a very important discussion.    In collaboration with local food importers, that supply discarded fruits, and a local gin producer, Catch of the day is developing into a market ready product with a very strong statement.

    Collaborators: Matís, Foss Distillery, Þoran Distillery, Bananar ehf.  
    Video: Bjarni Svarnur Friðsteinsson.
    Sound: Áskell Harðarson.
    Specual thanks:     Hákon Freyr - Hovdank.
    Supported by: Iceland Design and Architecture Fund,  Artists Salary Fund.
