Hemlock is a furniture company heavily inspired by industrial materials & processes. With a focus on manufacturing timeless pieces, Hemlock furniture takes on expressive forms, organic shapes, natural materials & aggregated materials.
Hemlock’s identity embodies utility, clarity and restraint. The logo—a minimal, industrial-inspired mark—evokes strength & structure, while its organic shape nods to natural materials & hand-crafted processes. Sustainability is embedded throughout the brand, with a focus on long-lasting materials & low-impact production.
The apparel above was screen printed by hand using algae-based inks from Living Ink, aligning with the brand’s commitment to sustainable practices without compromising on quality. This project marked my first experience working with algae-based inks, & I was impressed by its performance—particularly the significantly reduced odor compared to traditional water-based inks. The process not only reinforced the importance of material choices in environmentally conscious design but also demonstrated how innovation in sustainable printing can support both aesthetic & ethical goals.
