HEIMR Collection brings in Hans Christian Thomassen as Head of Product and Concept Development
HEIMR Collection is strengthening its team with a new key role – interior architect Hans Christian Thomassen as Head of Product and Concept Development.
“With Hans Christian, we gain a highly skilled and strategic colleague who has been involved in some of the most exciting projects in the Norwegian hotel industry. He will play a central role in further developing our existing concepts and shaping new ones,” says Terje Ropstad, CEO of HEIMR Collection.
Thomassen holds a Master’s degree in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and brings over 15 years of experience from the hospitality sector. His background includes roles as interior architect and partner at Riss Interior Architects and senior interior architect at Metropolis Architecture and Design. He is passionate about developing hotel concepts that lay the foundation for memorable and profitable guest experiences.
“For me, it’s about creating concepts that not only impress on the first visit but also evolve into strong, enduring brands over time. Exceptional guest experiences and sustainable operations go hand in hand,” says Thomassen.
“At HEIMR, I get the opportunity to work across the full spectrum – from idea and concept development to the ongoing evolution of our existing destinations. Guest experiences are perishable, and I look forward to actively contributing to how we can preserve and enhance them.”
“The hospitality market in Norway is an important industry for the future, and I see it as both important and meaningful to contribute to strengthening it by building on HEIMR’s unique position – delivering location- and context-specific guest experiences,” Thomassen adds.
