A FAMILY AFFAIR
Run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in the town of Sundern in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany, we carry the legacy of strong family allegiance and a talent for business, but blomus as a brand also tells the story of a geographical area that was once the home of a thriving steel and coal industry. The family business was established in 1921 as a manufacturer of bicycle parts, and in 1961 we branched out into gifts and design items, locally produced from copper, brass, pewter, and stainless steel. Year 2000 marked another shift in our history, when the name blomus was chosen and the visionary design brand of today was born.
Times have changed, and the region of North Rhine-Westphalia is no longer the industrial hub for steel production; however, our historic roots still play a vital role, and we continue to be known for our devotion to exquisite quality, a highly innovative approach to product development, and a desire to look beyond the mere aesthetics of a product and view its practical properties as equally important. In combination with an overall design philosophy that expresses simplicity and an uncompromising approach to colour, shape, and choice of material, this has positioned us as a strong player on the international design scene.
