Timeless Essentials

Crafted to stand the test of time – meet Nostalgi, our oldest hat rack. The Nostalgi hat and shoe rack was originally designed in 1937. Since then, many new materials have been added – one of our favourite combinations is oak wood paired with raw recycled aluminium.

87 years after the original Nostalgi hat rack came the Nostalgi bench. The newer members of the Nostalgi family share the same DNA: brackets cast from recycled aluminium, joined by bars of metal or wood.

The newest addition to the family is the Nostalgi hanger, designed to complement the hat rack, providing a cohesive look that appears elegant with or without a jacket. 

The Mama hook was added to the Essem catalogue in the 90s. It has since been our most well-known hook – easily recognized for its welcoming open arms. The Mama hook is made of cast recycled aluminium – a durable material that can be used raw or coated with paint. New colourways come and go, but the colors raw aluminum, black, and white are part of Essem's capsule wardrobe.

Defined by its signature rounded corners and unmatched utility, the Classic hat rack has been a classic piece in Swedish hallways since the 1950s. The Classic family offers a design that never goes out of style – combining functionality with a modern yet retro-inspired look.

The functionality of the Classic shoe rack is hard to beat – allowing you to easily store your shoes at different levels from the floor, available with a double or single shelf. 

The Classic family has received additional members, one of them being the Classic mirror. Designed with the same rounded edges and with the same ambition – to be here for the long run.
