INTERVIEW WITH NIELS STRØYER CHRISTOPHERSEN

After a short introduction to Frama the interview goes on to look at the philosophy behind this small but important design studio that was established in 2011 and then discussed the release of a new book from Frama - PERCEPTION FORM.

Frama produce distinct furniture and objects for the home including lighting, glassware and ceramics, and they have one of the most stylish ‘eateries’ in the city. Their work has a distinct and coherent design aesthetic where they explore form and re examine function but, above all, their designs, although not minimalist as such, keep the working and manipulation of the material to a minimum to retain and show inherent qualities.

Niels talks here about holistic experiences and about welcoming space and about trying to recapture some of the curiosity and imagination of a child collecting found objects that are then imbued with specific and very personal value. He confesses to being a hoarder … but it is clearly not of objects of high cost but objects where their shape and form or colour and texture fit within what appears, initially, to be his spartan or almost monastic sense of style.

Frama makes an exceptionally valuable contribution to our debate about what we own and what we want and what we need in our day to day life.
