Beyond Baltic birch: The home and studio/showroom of Frama director Niels Stroyer Christophersen merges artful decay with modernity. Christophersen describes his mission this way: "I want to create a dialog between two opposite poles, the classical and the contemporary." Working with a group of artists and designers, Frama produces a line of lighting and goods for the home and designs edgy commercial and residential spaces.
The Frama studio, located in the historic Nyboder neighborhood, occupies a pharmacy dating back to the 1800s, original woodwork and architectural elements included. Christophersen's living quarters, a suite of rooms located off the studio, feature distressed walls and a selection of pieces from the studio's line of furniture and lighting.

Frama's 90 Degrees Floor Lamp provides illumination.
