Hem Stories

It’s that time of year again; the clocks went back long ago, and everyone is still joyful from holidays filled with long winter walks and warm nights by the fire. With the shortest day just passed, the precious winter light begins to make magic with the objects it falls upon. Shadows lengthen, and sharp contrasts appear as the sun plays with the passage of time. 

Made exclusively for Hem’s London Pop-Up Store, the eye-catching pink counter stands in contrast to the shop’s raw, industrial space, blurring lines between hard and soft.

“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.

On time with Alphabeta welcoming its newest family member, the Alphabeta Floor Lamp, we visited the busy Luca Nichetto at his Stockholm atelier earlier this year. With the first preview of the new lamp coming up, Luca was preparing for the design calendar’s busiest period.

Whether you're trying to unwind after a hard day of work, inviting friends over on a Friday's dinner or just staying in bed for a day full of self-indulgence, Hem's got you covered. Take a look at the four lifestyle settings we prepared and get inspired for the winter season!

Today we are opening the doors to our temporary London Pop-Up Shop in King's Cross! Located in the innovative newly opened shopping district Coal Drops Yard, the Hem Pop-Up arrives just on time for the grand opening party of the whole complex.
