Gemla_Zinc_Gemyt_s


 

We are very happy and proud to present 3 novelties in 2024 by 3 different designers, who have all interpreted Gemla in their own way.
 

With an elegant simplicity, Javier Masa and NMASA Design has created VIDE, which with only a few steam-bent elements creates a whole family of hangers.
With both floor-standing and wall-mounted hangers, VIDE fits into many different environments and contexts.

 

With careful and methodical design work, Mathieu Gustafsson has created the completely unique ZINC barchair. 
A chair where traditional steam bending and the highest level of fine carpentry come together in a sculptural form.

 

GEMYT is a generous armchair created by Sami Kallio with both restaurants, meeting spaces and private homes in mind.
With a flirtation with the 60's, Sami has created a contemporary design with a unique backrest, carved out from a single pieace of solid steam bent beech.

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.

True to his aesthetics, the designer has let the pure shapes and elegant leather work be the chair's only decoration.
