Founded in 2016 by Karen Harvey
Karen returned home to Glasgow to open HOOS after living and working in Suffolk for 30 years in the charity sector where she was awarded an MBE for her work with vulnerable children and families.
‘I wanted a new career and have always loved Interiors and making a home, and perhaps being a shopkeeper. Running a business is essentially the same as running a charity.”
“I was brought up in Glasgow and my parents used to buy our furniture from the Danish Design Centre. They had a modest flat but it was a really comfortable and - now I know - stylish home! I love the quality and functionality of Danish design, hence I decided to focus on Danish Brands. Simplicity is usually the key and of course designers in Denmark have produced some of the most iconic design classics which are still on top of everyone’s list to this day.”
