"Our Spring Summer 2016 collection continues the lines and strong aesthetic of Autumn Winter 2015," said the designers. "The new collection is filled with well-crafted design and honest materials, designed to please the eye, the hand and the heart."

Among other homeware products, the brand launched a set of powder-coated metal shelves named Punctual.

"Punctual is a high quality shelving system, where the powder coated metal elements come in different heights and a beautiful range of soft colour hues," they said. "Our idea has been to create a modular system that easily can be assembled and expanded."

Each of the shelves feature tiny perforations that are only visible when up close. Cross-braces were added to ensure the structure remains stable.

Ferm collaborated with Copenhagen studio Herman to produce a side table, coffee table, clothes stand and set of stackable chairs.

Named after the studio, the Herman chairs comprise a simple wooden backrest and seat, and are available in four variations: blue, black, grey and natural.

Both the coffee and side table are constructed from the same wood, while the clothes stand is made from powder-coated metal. Once erected, the ladder-like structure is supported by strips of brown leather that can be untied and re-knotted to adjust its height.
