2013
Client work expanded into the LED lighting industry. In addition to doing client work the company also wanted to embrace designing its own products.
In order to facilitate this better the company changed its name to ThornWerks Design and added a brand logo. The first product was to be a pen/stylus for the new tablet technology that had just hit the markets.
Since writing tools are used to make letters, we coupled the Nordic letter
thorn with the Germanic form of factory/company (
werks) to form the name ThornWerks, a “writing tool company”. The company logo is a stylized letter
thorn.
