Essem today
Vision and business concept
Essem Design should be synonymous with the first room in the home.
Essem Design is a personal company which aims to develop, manufacture and market sustainable, functional and well-designed hallway furnishings for private and public spaces in a global marketplace.
The brand
What constitutes our brand and what are the ingredients that we want to retain in Essem Design:
Welcoming
The hallway is the first room you see when entering some - one's home. We are sharing, polite, personal, friendly and open and we always say Hej!
Honest
Our products are sustainable and designed to last for a long time. Parts are replaceable and they are functional and easy to install. We aim for clarity. We are humble and down to earth and we are trans - parent, never giving any false or questionable promises.
Design Driven
We value form and function in everything we do. We have a legacy of timeless Swedish design classics that we care for with the utmost respect, but that don’t stop us from creating, poke and be playful to stay relevant for generations to come.
