The holiday season is often planned with our most unblemished moments in mind: a beautifully set table and wrapped gifts for loved ones. But real life is far richer — and celebrates living alongside all the traces it leaves behind.
Patina is a mark of time: a sign of use, a layer of memories. At its simplest, patina refers to the surface of a material showing change to its finish. Oxidation on a bronze object; warm wear on a natural wood finish, and the rich tone that develops with use of industrial metals. FRAMA has always embraced the beauty of objects as they age — the candle half-burnt, the last sip in a glass, the chair that signifies comfort to generations. These are not imperfections, but the true designs of life.
This time of year, these signs of wear come to the fore as family heirlooms come out of the cupboard and are put to use for the special occasion of time spent together. Human connection gives meaning to these objects each year, creating new memories and traditions with the passage of time.
Season after season, elements that serve purpose and encourage hospitality at home are the design objects that become of even greater importance: allowing for ease while hosting, and making loved ones feel at home. Glassware given as a gift may become a future heirloom once memories attach themselves to its use. At the same table, candlesticks become imbued with meaning once wax has dried on their edges after hours of story-telling and shared celebration. Creating our own traditions is a lasting result of a season that always goes by too quickly.
A kitchen still fragrant from cooking, glassware left mid-toast, and linens crumpled from the feast: these are all remnants of the most important moments in life. As families and friends gather more than usual this season, the value of in-between time together becomes clear. Scattered ribbons, records stacked on stools, and open bottles of wine. Linger on the unplanned and allow the objects, furnishings, and care that encourage comfort and patina of every kind to come to the fore.
Discover gift boxes, holiday objects, home goods, and personal care to give and receive. The makings of future traditions and objects to last through every season.
