Designed by Färg & Blanche, Northern's Loud bar cabinet gets its elegant look from doors covered with aluminum laminate. The strikingly stylish cabinet would also be perfect as a bedside table, for example.

2. Northern

Northern – brand formerly known as Northern Lighting – has been producing high-quality luminaires since 2005. In 2017, the Norwegian manufacturer expanded its expertise to furniture and interior, creating a range that exudes pure Nordic Happiness. Strong silhouettes and imaginative details have characterized the design language of Northern's products from the very beginning, and the timelessly beautiful pieces fit into the Scandinavian aesthetics effortlessly.

4. Nudient

The story of lifestyle brand Nudient started in 2016 when friends Pontus Krusing, Max Andersson, and Vidar Sjöqvist couldn't find protective cases for their phones that were both durable and stylish – so the trio decided to start making them themselves! In addition to covers and other phone accessories, the Swedish company also provides stylish headphone cases and laptop sleeves.

The design language of Anglepoise's 90 Mini Mini table lamp draws inspiration from the Model 90 lamp published in the 1970s but is significantly more compact. The beautiful lamp is suitable for both a desk and a bedside table, and it has a memory function, which allows the dimmable lamp to always turn on according to the previous brightness setting.

5. Anglepoise

Anglepoise is a traditional English lighting manufacturer whose top-quality architectural lighting is recognized globally. The first Anglepoise lamp, Anglepoise 1227, was designed in 1932 by car industry engineer George Carwardine who created the unique spring mechanism still in use today.

Thanks to this brilliant mechanism, the lamps can be adjusted and moved with a light touch. Anglepoise's lamps are made to withstand both the test of time and everyday use, and the brand's selection includes both classically understated lamps and lamps that tickle the fancy of those in search of something a bit bolder.
