Hem's elegant and timeless Drifted bar stool combines the charming elements of cork and wood. Designer Lars Beller Fjetland was inspired while walking along the beaches of Norway: he found pieces of old cork that had been reshaped and smoothed by the sea. The cork in the seat is naturally warm, renewable and waterproof, while the wood reflects strength and durability. These high-quality materials and Scandinavian design create an impressive but harmonious piece, which is perfect for the kitchen, hallway or home office.

Designer
Lars Beller Fjetland grew up on the west coast of Norway, where he has nurtured a lifelong fascination for the marriage of function with the finest of nature's materials in furniture, interiors and lighting. He established his self-entitled Design office Beller design in 2011 while still being a student at Bergen Academy of Art and Design. He had his breakthrough in 2013 as he launched four of his latest designs at the annual Salone de mobile.
Graduating with a Bachelors' Degree from Bergen National Academy of the Arts in 2012, Lars is constantly looking to broadening his horizon as a dedicated explorer of form and function through various new projects. The core philosophy of Lars Beller Fjetland is to design products that achieve a sense of both timelessness and longevity through an immediate, honest functionalism in form and aesthetic. Sustainable yet sophisticated solutions for a smarter tomorrow.
