Floris Hovers

Floris Hovers, designer and fine artist

Floris Hovers (1976) studied at the Design Academy and has his studio and workshop in Raamsdonksveer. He reduces his designs to the absolute essence, without the object losing any of its power. His sense of colour, composition and form are expressed in his playful designs.

Floris gained international fame with his iconic Archetoys, these miniature vehicles are produced by the Italian design label Magis, and are included in the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

In recent years, Floris has focused more on making free work. The playful dioramas, landscapes and skylines were on display at Gallery Lidewij Edelkoort Paris, Big Art Amsterdam, Gallery Untitled Rotterdam, Le Rivoli Brussels, Object Rotterdam and Galerie Jacques Cerami.
