Hem Stories

“We have designed a lot of sofas, but I think the unique position Hem has taken in the market by selling direct to the customer has really shaped the thinking behind the new Kumo Sofa,” says Torbjørn Anderssen, one half of the Norwegian design partnership Anderssen & Voll. We accompanied the duo as they inspected the production of the Kumo Sofa in Lithuania.

There is a secret that sits at the heart of the Norwegian Olympic skiing town of Lillehammer — an old textiles mill that has the design world clamouring to cover its furniture, Gudbrandsdalens Uldvarefabrik.

We've recently spent a day at one of our most trusted manufacturers in Lithuania to let you peek into the production process of Hem throws, step by step.

For the opening of Hem's new Stockholm Headquarter, Hem commissioned design studio Soft Baroque to create a custom-made counter, to serve as a centre-piece to the spaces entrance area. The sulfur yellow counter stands in contrast to the offices raw, cold, concrete space, blurring lines between hard and soft, bright and dark.

During Stockholm Design Week, we unveil our new Stockholm HQ, a freshly renovated office space in central Stockholm. 

The second of our limited-edition decorative accessories is a playful and whimsical object called The Incredible House of Cards. We go behind the scenes in Bertjan Pot’s Rotterdam studio to find out about its invention.
