SEM

SEM is a Milanese furniture brand born as a spin-off of Spotti, the historic Milan design retailer, combining seventy years of knowledge and cultivated relationships with Lombard craftsmen with a drive for experimentation. Based in the Milanese hinterland, the epicentre of Italian design in the 1950s, the company produces furniture in unlimited, customisable series rather than high-volume runs.

Its catalogue is built with designers such as Hannes Peer, Elisa Ossino, Giacomo Moor, Marcante-Testa, Zaven, Vormen Studio, Motta Architecture and Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, all sharing a craft-based approach and an attention to refined detail. SEM describes itself as a connector between international design languages and the community of exceptional artisans of Lombardy and beyond, and has opened a presence in New York.
