Announcement posted by North Hem 21 Nov 2018
Brisbane, QLD – November 21, 2018 – North Hem, a consumer-focused Furniture start up, announced today their plans to expand 1 million private showrooms across Australia. These private showrooms are an exclusive feature of the North Hem brand and they allow consumer to enjoy all the benefits of online and retail shopping.
Just as Uber and Airbnb created platforms that benefited users as much as owners, North Hem is creating a platform that is disrupting the furniture retail business by bringing private showrooms across Australia to benefit the consumer and their needs. By transforming consumers homes to private showrooms spaces, Australian online retailers can showcase their products in the homes of their consumers, while showroom hosts receive commission for every item sold. One of UQ’s start up hub’s mentors stated that “[North Hem] could be game changing, disrupt the furniture retailing industry and completely change the ways how we shop for the furniture products.”
As of today, online shopping is increasingly becoming the preference of shoppers across Australia for clothes and technology. While there is a multitude of stores that retail luxury furniture to discounted prices, 90% of Australians still opt to purchase their furniture from physical stores. Consumers prefer to experience furniture in person, and visually see the colour and textile before they commit to a purchase, but with North Hem’s private Showrooms, buying no longer means guessing.

North Hem prides themselves to offer the consumer the confidence of retail shopping at an internet price, and the Private Showrooms will make every consumer confident with the North Hem Promise of high quality at a discounted price. These Private Showrooms are one of the ways that North Hem can sell premium furniture at attractive prices, and in return helping consumers earn money on their personal style and purchases.
