Blue Udon Chair by Staffan Holm

Born from a love for modern design and a desire to create, Stockholm-based independent design studio HEM was founded in 2014. Combining its founders knowledge of the Scandinavian aesthetic with a palette of European collaborations, the brand offers sleek, minimalistic furniture and home accessories with a fresh, unique twist. By borrowing from both European and Japanese carpentry traditions for his Udon Chair, Staffan Holm creates a compelling version of the classic bistro chair. Built from a simple few sturdy joints, Udon attains an openness uncommon to such stiff seating. The beech wood's subtle grain is accentuated by the variously colored stains. Settle for a quick break around the table to dine, work, or play.
