Kjarval is located in the heart of Reykjavik city, with magnificent views of the city center and its surroundings. Kjarval is particularly well-suited to meet clients and colleagues for or outside work, cultivate relationships with others or work in privacy.
Kjarval covers about 700 square meters on the two top floors of adjacent houses no. 10a and 12 in Austurstræti. There is a spacious balcony to both south and north. Kjarval offers good facilities for meetings and gatherings and drinks and food in collaboration with nearby restaurants. Great emphasis is placed on guests enjoying privacy if they choose and mutual respect.
These house rules were updated on March 1st 2024, and all customers, their guests, and staff must follow them. Their goal is to ensure the quality of service and maximize customer satisfaction.
Individuals and businesses can be members of Vinnustofa Kjarval, provided that the parties sign an agreement to that effect. By signing a contract, the user agrees to these terms/rules of the place.
The customer receives an access card(s) in line with the provisions and specified number in the contract. Each access card is assigned to a person who gets the card for installation on their telephone. The customer has access to Vinnustofa Kjarval, open areas, meeting rooms, and restaurant facilities during the studio's general opening hours. Each access card is for the person registered on the card only.
Membership is for a minimum of one year and renewable after that on an annual basis. If a customer wishes to terminate his membership, the termination must be done in writing and with three months' notice. Termination is based on the end of the month.
Kjarval is open to members and their guests during normal business hours.
The opening hours may change depending on circumstances. However, the workshop shall be open fora minimum of six days a week. Information on opening hours is available on www.kjarval.com.
Kjarval may be closed 15 times a year for private events.
Booking of the meeting rooms is made via www.kjarval.com and the Skedda booking app that members install on their phones. If a meeting room is available, you can book it without notice. If the customer wants to ensure access to a specific space at a specific time, it is appropriate to book the space at a good time. When booking meeting spaces, the number of guests should be considered, so small meetings are not held in large rooms.
To ensure good utilisation of meeting rooms, make cancellations easier, and ensure the equality, the following rules apply to the use of meeting rooms:
• Each member can book a meeting room for a maximum of 8 hours per week.
• The booking is automatically canceled 15 minutes into a meeting if the meeting members have not arrived.
• Members can only book one meeting space at a time.
• Members can only book a meeting room for themselves, and not friends, spouses, co-workers, or others.
• Members who pay for one membership only do not have access to the larger meeting rooms (with capacity for 7 persons or more) in the booking system but can send an email to kjarval@kjarval.com when a larger meeting room is required.
• Kjarval Social members do not have access to the booking system but can book both meeting roomsand private office spaces for an additional hourly rate, as per the pricing guide.

If a member does not pay an invoice within 30 days from the given deadline, he can not access Kjarval until overdue invoices are paid. In the event of termination of a membership contract due to non-compliance, the client shall reimburse an amount equivalent to the traditional notice period, according to Art.

Members can put purchases on their bills if they provide a credit card to secure the payment. The member is responsible for informing Kjarval about credit card changes if they occur.
Settlement for purchased goods must be finalised before members leave the house, either with a signing of an invoice or direct payment.
If a member leaves the house without paying for goods Kjarval will collect the debt. Such actions may result in extra costs for the member. Repeated failure to settle a bill before leaving may result in termination of membership.
Members set up an electronic access card to Kjarval on their smartphones upon registration. The card is only intended for the registered user, who is forbidden to lend the card/phone to others for use. Kjarval employees may ask guests to present their access cards and/or ID at the entrance or during services.
