Oliver Hemming

Born in Kenya in 1959, Oliver Hemming studied design and silversmithing at Art School in England and has won several design awards during his career. For more than 30 years he has designed, made and distributed his designs all over the world, working with the best design stores and retailers. His individual approach to design and his personal skill and attention to detail in his own manufacturing have given him a reputation for creative innovation and a skill for making beautiful, affordable and unusual products.

His designs have ranged from bespoke silver table top items to tea and coffee ware in stainless steel, such as his iconic nio collection as well as electrical appliances such as kettles and toasters.

In 2008 he won a Red Dot Award for his very original Spiceboy spice grinder which takes its inspiration from both the traditional mill and the ancient pestle and mortar.
