Carelfully designed to fit the hotel room, but just as well in the lounge or private living room at home.

HUMBLE Twin is a petite, yet generous sofa, based on the traditional bentwood tradition and craftsmanship at Gemla.
The long awaited 2 seater finally enters the collection to complement the existing 3 seater and armchair with the same name.
Reed more about the designer Pierre Sindre.

Last but not least, we are proud to present the new collaboration with our talanted friends at Studio Stockholm.
With GOURMET Armchair, Gemla's steam bending skills has been challanged to it's fullest.
In this elegant and comfortable armchair the backrest is bent and shaped from one single plank.
Made to last for generations.
I den eleganta och bekväma karmstolen är ryggstödet ångböjt i ett enda stycke från en rak planka.
En stol byggd att hålla i generationer.

Sustainability & Craftsmanship at Gemla

Sustainability has unfortunately become an empty word. But with a meaning more important than ever.

At Gemla we mean that Sustainability starts with Durability. That the product actually is able to last for a long time.
This is why we’re uninterested in trends and mean a Gemla product shall withstand the wear of the eye and be just as desirable today as in 50 years.
Therefor we create furniture together with the most talented designers who share our vision, always built to last twice the time. Always able to restore and repair.
There, the characteristics of steam-bent wood is superior to all other techniques.

That we only use natural and sustainable materials, such as Natural upholstery, FSC-certified wood and Vegetable tanned leather or Natural textiles, we take for granted.

KÄLLA - A hidden gem

Källa is one of Gemla's most exquisite chairs.
Made of steam-bent beech with exclusive upholstery of natural horsehair and wool, upholstered in vegetable tanned leather from Swedish ecological farms.
Källa was designed already in 2016 by Jonas Bohlin and has been a bit of a hidden gem in the collection.
Perhaps that is precisely the reason why Källa has been used for many exclusive restaurant projects around the world.

True to his aesthetics, the designer has let the pure shapes and elegant leather work be the chair's only decoration.
Källa is built with an elastic saddle girth that together with the softly embracing back offers the highest seat comfort.
Despite its generous comfort, Källa is a very light chair, where the carefully selected materials guarantee a long life with beautiful aging.
Just as useful in the 3-star restaurant as at home or boardroom.

VILDA - The perfect chair for meetings

When HOLMEN made their head office in Stockholm the choice of chair was VILDA 3 in ash and natural tan leather.
A modern and elegant combination where the natural materials only will grow more beautiful with time.

A light and most comfortable chair, where the strong steambent wood ensures a long life.

Simply a wise investment!
