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.

Contemporary Butterfly Oblong Table in Solid natural walnut by Hannes Peer
By SEM, Hannes Peer
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The 'Butterfly in the dining table version made of solid wood is a project that Hannes Peer together with Claudio Spotti of SEM have been pursuing for a long time. The final decision came in view of the Salone 2021. The aim was to create a piece of furniture that was aesthetically the child of the iconic 'Butterfly' console but constructively it had to be diametrically opposed. The 'Butterfly' Dining Table is in fact made with several layers of solid poplar wood composed as a structure and receives its external finish with a 'Masselletto' of Canaletto Walnut with a velvety surface. An immediately visible detail is the so called 'Butterfly' Joint at the center of each leg that characterizes this design object and renders it unique. These joints are typical for Japanese carpentry...
