A designer furniture retailer is opening a new shop in Brighton.

It is the first time New Heights, which has 14 stores nationwide, has ventured into Sussex.

Co-founder Toby Ash said: "Opening a store in Brighton has been a goal for New Heights for some time now, and we are delighted to have achieved it.

"Brighton has a certain energy and buzz that we are proud and excited to be part of."

The new shop, in North Road, opens next Wednesday.
