Thor Høy

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, glass, ceramics 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.

Though fully capable of working on his own, he finds the real "kick" in being with other people, working in teams and bringing different skills to bear.
