Through STRUCTURES OF LIVING, themes of modularity and shared experiences expanded across FRAMA spaces and in newly released collections.
Located directly beside FRAMA’s Studio Store, the 57a Apartment functioned as one of these spaces. More than a display, it invited a lived encounter with FRAMA’s evolving universe, where objects are not exhibited but engaged with. Over the course of the week, furnishings and forms served as quiet participants in a broader conversation about rhythm, presence, and the everyday.

Within this transformation of FRAMA spaces, a new shop-in-shop concept for the FRAMA Care Collection was introduced. With this space, FRAMA Care enters a new chapter—one that unites sensorial rituals with spatial clarity. This evolving visual language reimagines how care is encountered: not as a category, but as an atmosphere that draws from the collection’s foundational ethos. Designed to reflect the architecture of wellbeing.
This year, our essential connection to hospitality further expanded with the opening of Bar Vitrine—the result of a creative partnership between FRAMA, restaurateur Riccardo Marcon, and chef Dhriti Arora in Copenhagen’s city center.
To celebrate STRUCTURES OF LIVING, then, it was only natural to host an evening reception in the space. With food prepared by Arora and wines selected by Marcon, guests gathered within an atmosphere that reflects FRAMA’s ongoing dialogue around exploration and design.
To continue the conversation, we invited guests to join us for a family-style dinner at Riviera—a space also designed by FRAMA, and led by Italian chef Chiara Barla—to enjoy a seasonal ‘bakery dinner’ menu. Friends and collaborators shared freshly baked flatbread, oven-roasted summer vegetables, green salad from Klippingegård farm, and wine selections alongside local kombucha from Table Ferments.
As is now tradition for FRAMA, an open-invitation and open-air gathering celebrated the exhibition. This year with drinks by LOVER and music selected by DJ Ed Gumuchian to set the tone for collaborators and friends alike.
To mark the STRUCTURES OF LIVING, FRAMA created three limited releases—a multipurpose aluminum wall rack, which served as a conceptual starting point for the exhibition, a t-shirt, and an essay in print form by FOR SCALE written for the occasion. In addition, we introduced new furniture launches across three families: Petit Rond, Symmetry, and Ratio Series. From seating to mirrors and storage, each series is grounded by a common basis in architectural practice.
Through these collections and open structures that integrated key areas of daily life, FRAMA spaces were expanded for the week, and what we deem essential was investigated. The exhibition’s themes of modularity and shared experiences connected to historical visionaries as well as today’s forward-thinking architects and designers, allowing the essentials of living to come to the fore. As an extension of our everyday approach to transparent design language that allows thought to take form, STRUCTURES OF LIVING was ultimately a vehicle for conversation and consideration.
