Pleated fabrics, self-watering plant pots and a new take on the sofa bed all feature in the inaugural homeware collection from new Norwegian brand Northern.
Previously a lighting company named Northern Lighting, the company has expanded to offer furniture and interior accessories.

The company, now known simply as Northern, debuted its collection last week at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which took place during the city's design week.
"Our first design studio was always about more than illumination. We pushed the boundaries of shape, form and materials so far that furniture design and interior accessories just felt like a natural next step. So we called it Northern," said the brand.
"By eliminating the last part of our name, extending our portfolio to furniture and interior accessories became a possibility."
Sixteen designers from seven different countries were invited to contribute designs that offered "understated luxury" with a Nordic approach in mind.
Norwegian designers Morten Skjærpe Knarrum and Jonas Norheim, otherwise known as Morten & Jonas, oversaw the entire range. Their designs include a sofa bed with a "building-block construction".

The Daybe features a detachable backrest that can slide onto the floor to convert the sofa into a bed without the use of conventional coils, levers and springs. Each is available in a variety of fabrics and colours from dusty pink to grey from Danish textile brand Kvadrat.
