It all started when…
Jennifer, an interior architect, and Halvor, an industrial designer, realised that they wanted products that functionally satisfied their needs as a growing family while aesthetically meet their tastes for simplicity in design.
Thorsønn, is a family owned furniture company based in Oslo, Norway.
Halvor comes from a long tradition of design. His grandfather designed and produced cutlery that their family still use on a daily basis and his father designed industrial products including an outdoor bench that sits in their garden. This idea of designing products that last and are meant to be inherited has been a driving force in the company's attention to detail and quality. Hence the ‘sønn’ at the end of the name. Sønn is the Norwegian word for son and it refers not only to Halvor as the son of the company but also to the younger generations that are meant to inherit Thorsønn products.
Maintaining traditional crafts and techniques for future generations.
All Thorsønn furniture is designed and made in Norway. The standard fabric is from Gudbrandsdalens, a Norwegian producer with a 100 year old history, specialising in wool. It is important to them to use Norwegian craftspeople so that they can ensure the quality of their products and materials, and contribute to maintaining traditional crafts and techniques for future generations.
Maintenance and repair.
No one likes to tiptoe around their furniture, which is why Thorsønn makes furniture that enhances the activities of your family. They use quality materials and traditional craftsmanship to encourage a repair practice instead of replacing. Joints can get loose, wood can get scratched or fabric stained, but Thorsønn is here to help keep your furniture beautiful. Whether that be tightening joints, sanding and re-staining, or replacing the stained panel on a cushion, together we can repair and maintain your Thorsønn furniture for your family and future.
