Hem Stories

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for Hem. We are thrilled to show off a new and improved version of ourselves. 

Follow us behind the scenes as Jenny makes the next limited edition decorative accessory for Hem in her studio in Skåne, Sweden: the Powder Vases.

For the finalization of the Hem New York Studio, we commissioned design studio Chen Chen & Kai Williams to create a dedicated sculpture for the space — The Phalanx.

Our new home in Soho will showcase the brand’s collections in a creative setting alongside a site-specific sculptural installation by Brooklyn-based designers Chen & Kai.

“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.
