During Seattle Design Festival, we're partnering with FRAMA and Open Form for a one-day presentation of the Copenhagen design studio's multidisciplinary collection. Located just a few blocks from our Capitol Hill shop, Open Form provides the setting for a day of design, hospitality, and community.
On Saturday, August 15, explore a curated presentation of FRAMA furniture, objects, self care, and fragrance alongside ceramics by Natasha Alphonse, artwork by Aleph Geddis, and plants from Glasswing. The exhibition marks the 10-year anniversary of FRAMA's iconic Rivet Series, including the debut of the new limited edition Perforated Rivet Box Table. 4 of 20, very limited run, will available for purchase. Going forward, a selection of FRAMA furniture and home objects will be available to order at Glasswing.
The morning opens with the release of ARK Journal Volume 15, the Copenhagen based publication exploring architecture, interiors, design, and art. Coffee, pastries, matcha, wine, and beer will be available throughout the day while you spend time with the exhibition at your own pace.
In the evening, we'll host a private Designer Preview before opening to the public for Blended, a Seattle Design Festival celebration featuring music by Azmito & Friends, small bites by Common Feast, natural wine, beer, and late hours with the FRAMA Apartment installation. Advance tickets are available through Open Form.

Frama
Founded in Copenhagen in 2011, the studio approaches design as an ongoing dialogue between people, objects, and the environments they inhabit. Its practice spans furniture, lighting, fragrance, self care, books, and architectural spaces, with each project reflecting a commitment to permanence over trends.
Open Form
A space shaped by the belief that hospitality can be a form of design. Rooted in the traditions of Persian hospitality, this cafe and event space creates room for conversation, shared bites, and thoughtful programming that brings people together.
Ark Journal
An independent publication exploring architecture, design, interiors, and art through essays, photography, and conversation. Each issue offers a considered perspective on the people, places, and ideas shaping contemporary culture.
