The Norwegian brand Northern stands for fresh Scandinavian design that combines tradition and creativity. Northern's lights are particularly popular with lovers of clear, emotional shapes and natural materials. Northern's designs are intended to achieve one thing above all: create a mood. These are objects with a strong character, often with sources of inspiration that are obvious at first glance and make you smile. The focus is on innovation, but also the connection to the brand's Nordic homeland. Commonly used materials are glass, wood, metal and ceramic, but plastic is also used if its special properties are advantageous. The predominant natural materials provide emotional warmth and sympathetic details, and signal the closeness to Scandinavian nature and Northern's interest in environmental protection and sustainability.
Northern carries selected classics of Scandinavian design, but prefers to work with young Scandinavian designers. Northern Lighting has held a design competition several times, giving young designers the chance to be included in the range with an original idea.
The brand was founded in 2005 as Northern Lighting and initially specialized in designer lights. In 2018, the name was changed to "Northern" - the word "Lighting" was omitted, in line with the new, broader direction of the brand, which has since then developed other products for the living area in addition to lighting.
