Although we haven’t been able to bring the old fabrics back, we have found two very worthy replacements. Available are now Sybary- Charcoal Grey (if you were a fan of the Midnight Grey, this fabric is for you), and Sybary- Coffee (“you say espresso, I say coffee”).
We are also introducing a whole new model to our family: the footstool (Solsta) Pällbo. Imagine what a new cover could do for this little cube!

Viola Gråsten and Göta Trägårdh have joined our family of featured designers. They were chosen to sit alongside Stig Lindberg as they too were instrumental in shaping 20th century Scandinavian design. Bemz has selected Viola Gråsten’s Kaleido pattern, a block print design with a loose floral interpretation as her first featured fabric. Kaleido is available in blues as well as a brown/purple combination typical of Viola Gråsten’s colour range. The essence of Göta Trägårdh’s style will be first represented with her “Josephine” design in her two preferred colour palettes: pink and a black and white combination with grey tonalities.Read more about Viola Gråsten and Göta Trägårdh on our blog.

We created Archipelago, for those of you who pine for summer: the long, bright summer evenings, lazy days daydreaming in a hammock, refreshing dips in the sea and the sweet sound of white sails gently flapping against a bright blue sky. Rediscover summer with these fresh stripes, solids and natural colours. You’ll find our cotton and linen fabrics as warming as hot sand between your toes. If you don’t have a summer house, you can redecorate your living-room with a hint of Archipelago and sun-kissed strawberries. Get ready to pack your picnic basket, invite your friends and set sail!
We have long been receiving requests for covers in velvet. We loved the idea of including such a luxurious fabric within our range as we felt it perfectly matched our image! One small hurdle – Bemz’s commitment to you is that all our fabrics are machine washable and unfortunately velvet is not. We set out to find a solution and eventually tracked down our new beautiful Chenille fabrics which are 100% cotton, machine washable and wonderfully velvety smooth. Order a swatch now!
We have extended our selection to include the Karlstad 3-seater, 2-seater and chaise lounge! You will find a fantastic range of colours and beautifully designed patterns for these new additions, all machine washable of course!
You can find us featured in the Style File of the February issue under Hot Import: “While Ikea’s upholstered furniture offers chic looks for a great price, its popularity means it can lack one-of-a-kind cachet. But thanks to some homegrown ingenuity, a custom look for the Swedish basics is now just mouse-clicks away.” Highlighting Bemz’s chic, affordable slipcovers and substantial range, House & Home reasoned that Bemz meets the needs of traditionalists and modernists alike.

As the weather cools and the days shorten we feel ourselves drawn to warm stimulating colours to sooth our emotions and satisfy our craving for warmth and security. In line with this, we have launched Metropolis, a collection of deep, warm, intense colours including Old Gold, Spezzatura- Old Gold/Brown, Moss Green and Prisma Stripe Moss Green. Of course, we don’t all have the luxury of curling up and hibernating the winter away, so use an injection of cool colours in those rooms where you need to keep a clear mind and focused thoughts. Our new beautiful Zinc Grey, fab Sybary- Espresso and Stockholm Stripe- Sage Brown/ Jet Black may be just the ticket!
Just in: Bemz is now supplying the covers for the set of Swedish TV presenter, Malou’s other morning program Efter Tio. For the coming nine, weeks Bemz will supply a weekly set of covers in a variety of colour combinations to show how they drastically alter the room’s appearance, as well as to show how beautifully Bemz’s fabrics harmonise together.
Bemz continues to be hot on the tails of the latest trends in designer covers with its newest launch of Mix and Match fabrics. With Mix and Match you can keep the look fresh and trendy using crisp neutral tones to offset bright colourful stripes and patterns. Go geometric using a monochrome backdrop tempered by vibrant designs. Or be adventurous enjoying a variety of eclectic opposing colours to recover your furniture and transform your room. Whatever your look – Bemz can get you there! For more inspiration or to try out your own ideas, go to our Mix and Match page. The Mix and Match collection will initially only be available in the Tomellila and Karlanda series.
Bemz’s founder and CEO, Lesley Pennington was recently invited onto Swedish TV4’s Nyhetsmorgon. The piece focused on the versatility and inspiration Bemz provides their customers as well as the ease with which one can navigate the site. The presenter, Malou, one of Sweden's darlings, used her own living-room to stage a variety of make-over options showing how a change of sofa covers, along with a few accessories, can completely transform the look of a room. Read about it yourself or even watch the clip (in Swedish) here.
According to renowned Swedish financial paper Dagens Industri, Bemz’s is a success story: “Canadian Lesley Pennington has reached record sales with her Internet-based company selling individualised covers for Ikea sofas.” The Stockholm based entrepreneur has shown how success can come from a simple business plan. Piggy-backing global giant Ikea has earned Bemz millions of Swedish Crowns within a short three years, wrote Dagens Industri. Click here for the original article.
Passion for living is the fuel behind Bemz: our covers can be interesting yet functional; unique yet affordable; colourful, neutral, garish or subtle. There’s a little of each of us in all of them. They are fun and affordable - and we don’t have to worry if someone spills a glass on wine on them or rubs their jam stained hands all over them! They are for living! Let’s stay passionate.

Now your options are endless: Bemz has introduced Prisma Stripe - Eggshell Blue, a new multistripe design featuring several of Bemz’s most popular colours, launched with summer specifically in mind. It offers bright, fresh hues, incorporating the most popular colours from both our new and previous collections, and is extremely adaptable. Prisma Stripe is made up of super versatile pastel colours, such as Eggshell Blue, Sand Beige, Aubergine, Light Olive Green and Dusty Rose. Mix and match it with any other Bemz fabric as a complementary cushion cover, or really liven things up by using it to cover a whole piece. Whatever you choose, Prisma Stripe – Eggshell Blue will keep your home looking cool for summer and beyond.
The French magazine Maison Revue Campagne was so impressed by Bemz’s slipcovers and sense of style that it produced a five page feature for its summer issue. “Straightforward, functional, vivid colours, respect for natural materials….and an elegance unmatched in its humorous and creative sobriety, the epitome of Swedish design.” To view a pdf of the article click here.
In the June 07 issue of Ideal Home, a Bemz cover was used to show how “a bold mix of seating in bright, modern shades combined with smart walnut furniture gives a young retro feel.” A 2-seater Klippan with a Bemz Woven Whimsy cover was used to achieve the desired look: a funky chill-out room. There are plenty of bright, modern shades to choose from at Bemz. Re-visit our collections and design your look now.
American Metropolitan Home featured Bemz in their April 2007 edition of the magazine. The section, entitled “Take Note: The Practical Made Perfect” rejoiced as Bemz now services the US market. Go to the feature here – slide 3 in the slideshow.
It must be Serendipity! With the warm weather and Spring bloom upon us, our new collection is timely with its hip rococo florals, traditional Swedish stripes and checks, and trendy houndstooth and glen check. Our designer, Katarina Wiklund's traditional and modern interpretations of 18th century Sweden are very current. Select from the more traditional Eggshell Blue stripes and checks, embrace neutrals with Sandy Beige or go bold with Dusty Rose's modern black and white/rose combinations. Choose your personal style-express yourself with Bemz.
Bemz was featured in the February 2007 issue of American Family Circle, which boasts circulation numbers in excess of four million. They were motivated by Bemz’s “Seat Saver” idea: “a collection of custom covers made specifically for the most popular Ikea armchair and sofa models”. (Family Circle Home News, pg. 16 Feb 07)
We have even increased our range of custom-made slipcovers to include the Klappsta armchair: an extremely popular and beautifully designed chair suitable for your home or office.
Bemz’s new StudioLine collection uses beautiful, woven cotton fabrics from one of Sweden’s most eminent cotton producers: Borås Cotton. As the fabrics are woven using two different colours, the effect is impressive: textured style with clean, structured lines. The result: a modern hip feeling synonymous with contemporary luxury. The Sybary range offers a traditional, refined take on elegance; whereas Sprezzatura is a trendsetter with its bold colours and knobby style.
By popular demand, Bemz has extended its area of expertise to include custom-made covers for Dining Room Chairs. Our new covers are designed to fit the very popular Henriksdal chair and are available in an extensive range of colours and patterns. Both the elegant, formal full-length style and the shorter more casual version are available.
Red Magazine UK loved the whole Bemz concept, labeling it ingenious. What else did they have to say about us? “They come in a huge range of plain colours and prints at really keen prices!” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! (For more details see March 07 issue of Red Magazine UK, under Home Details).
Bemz has launched a new collection as well as improved on some of your favourites.

Your Bemz favourites have also been updated with new colours and patterns added to the most popular ranges. And why not check out the newcomer arrived onto the Stig Lindberg inspired Designer Collection? Bulbous is timeless, beautiful and inherently Swedish.
