What’s new: Hem’s Glyph Beta side table

Hem's playful Glyph Beta side table is designed by Korean designer Kwangho Lee.

Hem’s new Glyph Beta side table is a fascinating combination of functionality and creativity. Inspired by the Greek alphabet, the table brings a welcome touch of lighthearted playfulness to the interior.

GLYPH BETA side table by Hem is the creation of Korean designer Kwangho Lee. The Seoul-based designer's work is characterised by a desire to see ordinary objects in a whole new way – that is also evident in the skillfully designed and extremely functional Glyph table.

A keen eye might find references to the Greek alphabet in the shape and form of the Glyph side table.

The table can be used in three different ways – by changing the position, it reveals a whole new shape of itself!

Inspired by the Greek alphabet, the Glyph table is a small sculpture that truly catches the eye, leaving the viewer unsure if it is even furniture at all or perhaps more of a work of art.

Both answers are correct: Glyph tables are pieces of art materialized into everyday objects.

Glyph tables are made of sturdy steel and covered with a powder-coated finish, which gives the table a matt surface and makes it extremely durable.

The colourful side table is the perfect match with Hem's chunky Hunk lounge chair and curvy Boa pouf.

The versatile side table can be set in three different positions – by turning and tilting the table, it reveals new, usable sides of itself. The table offers many surfaces and spaces for storing and displaying lamps, books, magazines and decorative objects.
