The Stemn System

Jul 29

The foundation of Fyrn lies in Stemn, our foundational and patented system of stronger, more elegant hardware joinery which makes our furniture:

Elegant. A restrained and essential design language, quietly fitting into any space without over embellishment.

Resilient. Strength and durability that is proven to hold up in even the most high-trafficked spaces.

Enduring. A parts-and-pieces system that can be repaired or refurbished, even for changing tastes

Stemn came about as an answer to industry-wide problem. Read more about why and how this system was developed here.

For our clients, Stemn enables a more confident experience with furniture:

Faster lead times + Targeted delivery: Delivered in weeks, not months. Stemn’s parts-and-pieces system enables us to more efficiently craft the components we need to build each custom item. We're also able to pin-point delivery, adjusting as necessary to moving install-dates.

In-Home Trial / Quick-ship seating samples: A testament to the confidence we have in the design, quality and utility of our pieces. We're happy to provide a seating sample to design firms and contract clients, or offer residential in-home-trial, with delivery of a chair or stool in two-weeks.

10-year warranty: Our pledge to stand by the quality of our pieces and to support our customer's needs. With product in public and private projects for over a decade, we're proud of our less than a 1 % claims rate on this warranty.

Buy Back: When circumstances or tastes change, we’ll repurchase qualifying seating pieces - which we can easily repair or refurbish as necessary and put back into circulation on the Annex.

The system takes consideration and responsibility for the full life-cycle of our products. 

Our approach to furniture design and build focuses on:

Honoring natural materials and resources that go into each piece:

Our primary materials & expertise: Domestically sourced North American Hardwoods from responsibly managed forests. Infinitely recyclable steel and aluminum, milled in-house.

Our methods: Maximizing lumber yields + honoring the organic characteristics of our solid wood pieces with VOC-free oil finishes. Enabling and encouraging the sale of seconds and refurbished items through the Annex.

Building furniture that lasts, while accounting for the realities of a decades-long-life for each piece: 

Less than 1% claims rate on our 10 year manufacturing warranty, including product in public spaces. Precise aerospace tolerances in our patented joinery ensure durability where other furniture fails most.

Parts & pieces system that enables easier repair and refurbishment if unusual circumstances arise. 

Considering and planning for the impact of logistics:

Maximizing storage / warehouse capacity via a built-to-order parts & pieces system. 

Enabling flat-pack or intuitively assembled products which ship easier, faster, and require a smaller carbon footprint.
