H&M Home and Solar Club launch coastal pieces for entertaining

Moving day usually ends with cardboard, takeout and a kitchen that still feels half-finished. H&M HOME’s Solar Club collaboration lands in that exact gap, with a nine-piece capsule built for shared meals, easy entertaining and the kind of table setting that makes a new place feel lived in fast.

The H&M HOME assortment leaned into coastal-luxury cues without drifting into fussiness. It was crafted from stainless steel, stoneware clay and raw cotton, and the pieces carried subtle engravings, prints and embroidered messages that gave the collection a softer, more personal finish. The palette stayed sun-washed overall, then dipped into deeper shades like chocolate plum, with a recurring sun symbol tying the whole thing together around warmth and togetherness.

That focus made the home pieces especially giftable for someone who likes to host but does not want a formal dining room that feels precious. The strongest items in the mix are the tableware, textiles and accessories, which connect directly to Solar Club’s own rituals of shared breakfasts, beach meditation and long dinners at sunset. For a housewarming gift, that matters: these are the kinds of pieces that work on day one, whether the recipient is setting out drinks, dressing a first dinner table or just trying to make a bare apartment feel intentional.

Solar Club was founded between Paris and Marseille by Anne-Laure Faou and Alice Gerault, and H&M says it began as an offline group that met to run, talk and spend time together. That origin story gave the collaboration a social, not just decorative, point of view. The full project was shot in the Marseille region of France, a setting that reinforced the French coastal reference without making the collection feel overly themed.

The release reached beyond the table, too. H&M MOVE paired its side of the collaboration with 20 pieces, extending the idea from morning workouts and beach meditation into evening entertaining. Marie Fredros, H&M MOVE’s head of design, found Solar Club while researching shifts in wellness culture and wanted something that felt less about performance and more about presence. Evelina Kravaev Söderberg, H&M HOME’s design lead for the project, said the brand translated the feeling of gathering into the capsule.

H&M Group has positioned the collaboration as part of a larger move toward community-driven wellness and day-to-night lifestyle branding. In this case, the message is clear: the most useful housewarming gifts are the ones that make a home feel ready for people, not just decorated for them.
