Floris Hovers
Floris Hovers was born in 1976 in Raamsdonksveer in the south of the Netherlands. After some basic training in engineering, advertising and presentation techniques in Utrecht, he studied at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. In 2006 he founded his own design studio and workshop in Raamsdonksveer. A basic and simple approach to techniques and materials is essential for Hovers to communicate his vision and working method. He is often drawn to simple industrial forms and structures.
Mostly he produces his own work. He values the whole process from idea to finished product. He believes that a designer can also be a craftsman who realizes his own designs. In addition to developing his own designs, Hovers also works for brands and manufacturers such as Magis, where he has created Cartools, an interactive toy for children that can be a design ornament as well as a kit for different types and kinds of cars.
