Emil Hoye silversmith and designer<\/h4>\n

Emil Hoye (actually “H\u00f8ye”), born in Bergen in 1875 and died there in 1958, was an important designer from the era of the Norwegian Art Nouveau. Mainly known as a designer and goldsmith, there are also some advertising poster designs known by him that are artistically close to Alphonse Mucha. Emil Hoye was employed for a time as a designer at the silversmithy of Magnus Aase and held the position of director there from 1910 to 1916 until he went into self-employment. Before and after that, he also worked as a designer for other silversmiths.
\nKristian M. Hestenes, also born in Bergen in 1873 and died in 1928, opened his shop with an adjoining workshop in 1904. The company specialised in silver cutlery, hollowware and jewellery. His son Magnus (1901 – 1984) took over the business after his father’s death in 1928. The company was closed in 1993.<\/p>\n
