The interior of the hotel reflects the innovative spirit of its surroundings: original artwork lines the walls, selected by famed curator Sune Nordgren, while furniture chosen by Anemone Wille-Våge reflects up-to-the-moment design without sacrificing comfort. Known in the 18th century as "Thief Island" because of its role as a prison islet, the waterfront district of Tjuvholmen is now home to one of Scandinavia's most exciting urban renewal projects, as a thriving center for business, art, and nightlife.
ARCHITECTURE
MELLBYE ARCHITEKTER AS
Designed by the prize-winning Mellbye Architekter AS, THE THIEF fits right into its cutting-edge environment. Besides the hotel, the island of Tjuvholmen is home to many stunning examples of contemporary architecture including Renzo Piano's Astrup Fearnley Museum of Art, thanks to the efforts of world-famous architect Niels Torp.Located at the edge of the peninsula, the sustainable construction is almost entirely surrounded by water, with all 119 of its rooms featuring French balconies. The Oslo Suite, in particular, offers a 360-degree panoramic view from its own rooftop terrace.
INTERIOR DESIGN
A MUSEUM IN ITS OWN RIGHT
Alongside furniture and lamps from established designers such as Tom Dixon and Boca do Lobo, guests will find new, inspiring pieces from Norwegian up-and-comers. In each room, the design is complemented by carefully chosen artwork; curator Sune Nordgren heads the hotel’s art concept, in collaboration with the Astrup Fearnley Museum. Current featured artists include Sir Peter Blake, Magne Furuholmen and Camilla Low, with many more local and international artists to come.ROOMS & SUITES
vestibulum.
THE THIEF’s rooms and suites are as avant-garde as the hotel itself—bold, fjord-facing architecture, an art collection worthy of a museum, and a color scheme that isn’t afraid of being dark and seductive. The 118 spacious rooms and suites play with shades of cozy gray, warm gold, and earthy beige. Each features high quality furniture from such trend-makers as B&B Italia and Brand von Egmond. But the Oslo hotel also proudly features upcoming Norwegian designers with bespoke woolen blankets, slippers for him and her, and bathrobes. The Apparatjik Suite, designed by the former music band now art collective, is for the rock star at heart—shiny disco balls, pixel-patterned blankets, and a roof-mounted projector showing Apparatjik’s video art are just some of the surprises in store for guests.
