Visit the Frama Studio Apartment

Open for the first time since it was built in 2012, the home of Niels Strøyer Christofersen is the aesthetic window into the Frama universe. This is an apartment that’s been featured in all the major magazines and you don’t want to miss seeing it in-person. The building itself – a 1905 Østerbro beauty – is worthwhile too.

Designmuseum Danmark: The Danish Chair

Take a tour through history of the many chairs that make up Denmark’s storied past (and present) with this everyday, elevated item. The exhibit attempts to explain how “the Danish chair” went from humble to the world stage. A very cool exhibit for those interested in design, furniture, and for kids as well.
