First announced last autumn, the eco-friendly Ori Collection – co-developed by design firm Ekkist and furniture company Another Country – is now available for purchase.

The range includes a guest bed, coffee table, planter, and wall mirror, plus a skittles game set.

Each product was crafted with sustainably sourced timber in accordance with the WELL Building Standard, which advises designers to create – among other things – comfort-focused products that positively impact living and working spaces.

Catherine Aitken, design director at Another Country, said, "Our ethos fits perfectly with that of Ekkist: the focus is on creating welcoming, sustainable, and non-toxic homes that will last.

"With a renewed emphasis placed on the materials we surround ourselves with, the Ori Collection celebrates a home environment more connected to nature.

"The raw materials for this collection were carefully selected so they contribute to a healthy home environment whilst the design outcomes allow a flexible, light-filled approach to living."

Another Country founder, Paul de Zwart, added: "We see ourselves as purveyors of the natural home and this was the perfect opportunity to collaborate with the minds behind the Ori House. This is what the future should look like for both the house itself and the furniture inside."

Composed of sustainably sourced wood, the furniture series was first announced last autumn. / Courtesy of Another Country
