Idea, colour and space. Kim’s rooms
for Hotel FOX are his first venture into interiors: “I
wanted to try and make psychological rooms as much as physical
ones. To make rooms as stage sets. To make rooms that I hadn't
seen before”. Hiorthøy hopes that guests will
respond to his rooms either with irritation or enthusiasm;
“both are good”, he says: “Hello. Green,
orange, green, green, brown, red, grey.” |
Kim Hiorthøy –
Norway: The
wit and intelligence of the work of young Norwegian
designer, artist, musician, film-maker and photographer
Kim Hiorthøy marks him out as being one of
a very special kind. Regardless of what medium he
chooses, he manages to pack narratives of great intricacy
and depth into his very personal and reduced visual
or written language. From the Nordic colour cosmos
of his record sleeves to his poetic and often humorous
drawings or photos, Hiorthøy erases the line
between design and art with accomplished ease.
