Furniture brand SEM started as a spin-off from Milanese brand Spotti and now has an exceptional reputation of its own. Working with acclaimed furniture designers, including Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, Vormen and Elisa Ossino, SEM creates personalized and finely crafted solutions for modern living.
During the 1950s, large furniture manufacturers often had difficulty providing customized, high-quality furniture while producing other products on a mass scale. SEM originated from that demand and has evolved to complement Spotti and offer simple, functional and highly ergonomic furniture for both work and home environments.
SEM, which stands for Spotti Edizioni Milano, has attracted a wide range of talent to design its furniture collections. Pivot, named for a hingeless door mechanism in its cupboards, is a design by Giacomo Moor, named as Elle Decor Italia’s Best Young Designer of 2016. Futuraforma, designed by architecture and interior design team Marcante-Testa, is a sophisticated collection featuring the Duale table, the Genio chandelier and the Magico carpet.
Italian architect Hannes Peer lent his expertise to the Paesaggio collection, which features notable designs like the Nuvola armchair, the Alea dining chair, the Petali table lamp and the Butterfly table. Peer’s Butterfly console tables and other tables are a meeting between architecture, design and engineering to produce a complex and organic form that catches the eye.
SEM displayed collections at Milan Design Week in 2018 and 2019 and with AD France’s AD Intérieurs in 2019. SEM also expanded the Paesaggio collection during the 2021 FuoriSalone, Alcova, in Milan.

We have rethought the design of the standard kevint shelf and given it a modern twist. The word "kevint" is German for "cabinet". In Japan, it refers to a medicine cabinet. It is said to have originated in Germany, a country with advanced medical technology. This is what we call a kevint shelf. It would also make a great display shelf for a shop. The beautiful symmetry of the shelves gives a sense of stability to the room. The arrangement of the glass shelves, for example, has been carefully chosen to create a harmonious whole. The cast iron handles are made by pouring molten iron into a mould. The "Clermont bolt", which has to be turned to open, adds to the antique look. The decoration is unobtrusive to enhance the beauty of the display, yet the handwork is delicate and luxurious. It can be used in both Japanese and Western styles. The material is oak. It is used all over the world for its hard wood and beautiful grain. It is available in six chic colours to complement its texture. Colour variations Wood is available in the following six colours Grey The wood is painted in a mixture of grey and white with a brown base. Subtle nuances are expressed in the wood. Fume A coating that reproduces the natural weathering of furniture over a long period of time. It gives the furniture a characteristic look. Light This is the lightest of the light wood finishes. It is also the lightest of the light finishes. Medium This finish has a beautiful, well-worn colour, like old European furniture...

1970s Raymond Loewy Inspired Yellow Media Cabinet by Broyhill
By Raymond Loewy, Broyhill
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Measuring about 30 inches wide × 18 inches deep × 30 inches high, this vintage Chapter One stereo/record cabinet is compact yet charismatic, offering both storage and style. All painted wood surfaces have been professionally sanded, primed, and refinished; the formerly green doors now glow in a canary yellow lacquer that captures the playful, optimistic spirit of the 1970s. The body is a crisp white that contrasts beautifully with the yellow doors. Chrome pulls and the laminate top have been buffed to a glass-like shine, restoring both brilliance and tactile smoothness. Behind two hinged doors sits a removable/adjustable shelf, enabling flexible storage for records, media components, or barware. A discreet hole has been drilled in the back panel to allow wires to pass through and components to vent, so it works as a media cabinet or dry bar with elegance. Vintage character remains in small, affectionate details: minor surface wear under close inspection, light patina around chrome edges, subtle variation in finish that affirms origin rather than detracting. Structurally strong, doors align, pulls and hinges function smoothly. Visually this cabinet serves as more than storage—it’s a centerpiece. It suits interiors that welcome bold color and retro personality: pair with minimalist furniture so the yellow pops, or with mirrored/accented surfaces and warm woods that echo the warmth. It makes a statement in living rooms, dens, or music/entertainment corners where presence and practicality matter. For collectors who value Broyhill’s Chapter One line, restored condition, and design with both culture and function, this cabinet feels rare. It offers story, color, and utility in equal measure. The FMV restoration team pulled no punches on this Broyhill Chapter One...
