Hem Stories

We are thrilled to announce that Hem's London Pop-up Store is opening next week and will last until December 31st! Join us for drinks and snacks at the opening party on 1st of November from 6-9 pm and enjoy 20% off all in-store purchases during the whole opening week!

The creators of Hem’s newest Kumo Sofa, Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll are among the most prominent Norwegian designers today. Their widely-awarded work stretches over various fields of design, with a firm focus on domestic objects. We recently caught up with the designers in their Oslo-based studio to hear more about the journey with designing the Kumo Sofa.

Last week we met up with Julien Renault, designer of the Log Table and Punched Collection at Hem, to visit his studio in Brussels, talk about life and his personal journey into design.

We sat with Hem’s long-term friend and collaborator Paul Vaugoyeau over a cup of coffee to discuss the process of arranging a personal space, how design shapes our everyday behaviour and his relationship with objects that surround him.

When the afternoon sun hits the continuous glass facade of the Hem Headquarter, the office transforms into a design oasis with matching colors for the season: fresh greens, deep blues, sandy nudes and sunny yellows.

We just love the raw yet friendly setting at the Casper HQ in New York, designed by New York based Float Studio, and furnished with several Hem items!
