Thor Hoy design

As a designer and as a person, Thor Høy is driven by curiousity – with openness, humor and a genuine love for life, he uses both his hands and his head, investigating any creative angle he can find. Helping him further is a familiarity with almost every production method, and a comprehensive knowledge of materials, in the fields of wood, metals and the plastics industry, as well as skills in ideation, sketching, modelling, visualization and prototyping. Thor Høy comes from a family of artists, art historians, architects, textile makers, ceramists, authors and scientists – he created his first chair, out of a shopping cart, at age eleven, and his first series of lamps at seventeen.
