We hold you in our hearts
Thorkild was born into a creative family environment - his father Jens Hansen was the renowned Danish silversmith. Much of Thorkild's former working life was spent designing and creating jewellery in the family business. After a change in career to furniture making and teaching, Thorkild's furniture design was an amalgam of Danish modernist design, exploring functional simplicity with a focus on materiality within the tradition of fine woodworking.
Thorkild inspired many, many of our past and existing students.
