Thomas Meyerhoffer

Thomas Meyerhoffer is a Swedish designer working across technology, sport and everyday objects. His career began at Porsche and later took him to Apple, before he established his own studio and developed products with Nike, Smith, Tork, Coca-Cola and Cappellini across windsurfing, winter sports, furniture and daily life. He now works with Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania, where he designed the Orb, a device that lets people prove they are human in the age of AI.

He also designs and develops Meyerhoffer Surfboards, exploring how shape can bring together glide, speed and responsive turning, and he co-founded Latch, bringing hardware and software together to rethink access to buildings. His approach starts from character: an object has to explain itself intuitively and embody the brand behind it.
