It starts with our designers who imagine the most relevant designs of today and tomorrow. It extends to our manufacturers who obsess over materials and details.

Every Hem design is new — dreamt up, designed, and manufactured exclusively for our customers. We design for how people live today. Design to fit right in to how we work, relax, host, share, and enjoy. Neither trends nor wear shall make them obsolete. We obsess over details, materials, and finishes so that you don’t have to.
The Hem Design Studio at Eastmansvägen 12A in Stockholm is our headquarters and core. From here, we develop new products and manage the daily global operations. We have gathered some of the brightest design lovers here and a multitude of languages can be heard between fabric samples, color swatches, prototypes and computer screens.
The Pal bar stool retains all the advantages of the low stool - easy assembly, lightweight sturdiness, affordability - while its extra height makes it perfect for bars and restaurants as well as kitchen counters.
Designed by Hallgeir Homstvedt, the slender, curved legs were inspired by skateboard-making techniques and attach to the curved base through an ingenious X-shaped joint. The metal bracket on the legs makes for added strength and stability.

Beautiful and durable – Oak holds a special place in our hearts. From the bent curves of Lars Beller Fjetland's Drifted collection, to the milled solid table-top beauty of Staffan Holm's Alle table, the no-nonsense versatility of Oak is timeless and will last a lifetime.
It would be hard to overstate Walnut’s popularity among woodworkers. Its cooperative working characteristics, coupled with its rich brown coloration puts the wood in a class by itself. Discover the alluring material with Gemma Holt's jewellery box, or Nao Tamura's pebble-shaped Sasso serving trays.
The muted tones of Ash is a favorite with interior designers. The wood lends itself perfectly to lamination - a technique introduced by early modernists, where thin layers of veneer are glued and pressed in a mold. The result is lightweight, thin and extremely strong. Discover Hallgeir Homstvedt's Pal stool or Lars Beller Fjetland's Touchwood chair – both prime example of the refinement of laminated ash.
