About

Since 2013 i've been working together with Thomas Linssen in designstudio House of Thol. House of Thol is a hands-on design studio creating straightforward and durable design solutions for the everyday. In our designs we combine a love for easthetics and experiments with a focus on functionality and manufacturability. We prefer using genuine and sustainable materials, often in combination with contemporary computer aided techniques. Working together means we can approach the design process allround: from initial concept-development and visualisations to model making and product development. By working closely with labels and manufacturers we aim to create valuable designs within everyones’ reach. We embrace a close collaboration with clients, staying in contact throughout the development-process to create the best outcome.
