VNEM is a multidisciplinary creative studio founded in 2023 in Slovakia by designers Tímea Kepová and Georgios Somarakis. The studio works on projects in furniture, product, interior, and small-scale architecture design, with a focus on combining functionality, aesthetics, and a distinctive character in every solution.
/Our work is rooted in functionality, always with an emphasis on aesthetics and a sensory experience. We seek a balance between a rational approach and unconventional solutions that deliver not only practicality but also an emotional dimension.
We approach every project as a collaboration – combining client goals with our ideas and transforming them into thoughtful solutions. We enjoy creating our own products, but we also take pleasure in developing bespoke designs tailored to specific client requirements./
