HEMA is a Dutch chain of department stores which opened its first store in Amsterdam on 4th November 1926. The chain has internationally expanded to 8 countries around the world. The basic idea behind every HEMA product is to make daily life better, easier, and more fun. Great quality and design should be available to everyone at a great price. The products are optimistic and playful, but also clean and soothing, smart, and well-made. Design is form, but it can also be a feature of the product, the choice of a material or the ease of use, as well as a great price of course. This is the unique and recognizable HEMA signature.
