It all started when… Jennifer Valone Thorsen, an interior architect, and Halvor Thorsen, an industrial designer, realised that we wanted products that functionally satisfied our needs as a growing family, while aesthetically meeting our tastes for simplicity in design. From there, Thorsønn was born. We are a family owned furniture company based in Oslo, Norway.
Our Story
Halvor comes from a long tradition of design. His grandfather designed and produced cutlery that our family still use on a daily basis and his father designed industrial products including an outdoor bench that sits in our garden. This idea of designing products that last and are meant to be inherited has been a driving force in our 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.
Interior Architecture
We plan and design residential and commercial spaces under the name Odd Thorsen AS - our mother company. As with Thorsønn, we focus on reusing what we can and often refurbish old furniture in our interior projects. We have many years of experience with making reuse look as good as a brand new interior.
