Studio Toer

Studio Toer was founded by Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven in 2011. Describing themselves as playful, poetic, and dynamic, Studio Toer specialises in light designs and dynamic light installations. Through pushing the technical and aesthetic limits of design, the studio creates experimental pieces that have gained them recognition worldwide.

Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven met in high school and played in a band together. Although their studies took them separate ways, they continued to play music, later deciding to open a design studio. All the creations from Studio Toer stem from the freedom of play. After experimenting with elements that they find fascinating, they try to decide how to connect this with an audience. The result may be a new product or an installation. Their exhibitions have captivated audiences at notable events worldwide, including the Kronach leuchtet Festival in Germany, the Glow Eindhoven festival, and Nobel Week Lights in Stockholm.

“We really like to take those movements found in nature inside and design products that can be used inside. Working with movement was something that came naturally to us.” – Studio Toer
