Hotel Fox


 317. Monday  

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: “Welcome. Please be quiet when entering. Don't spill.”


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.
