The framework for a timeless kitchen: FRAMA in collaboration with historic kitchen and cabinetry makers, Kvänum.
The very first FRAMA kitchen was built based on principles refined to their most essential. Celebrating pure function, the aim was to create a kitchen focusing on the essentials of cooking and being. Collaboration with Kvänum now marks the next organic step in this design process — traditional craft meets FRAMA’s distinctly straightforward aesthetic.

With FRAMA's most timeless materials such as stainless steel, dark and warm brown wood, and stone, an honest range of quality kitchen and storage modules emerges. The FRAMA Modules by Kvänum are available in two core wood frames, Chestnut and Ginger, to complement the FRAMA universe.
The process behind FRAMA’s kitchen modules was one of organic development. Without the need for mounting to walls or floors, ultimate flexibility was the practical point of inspiration. The first FRAMA kitchen was developed in a city apartment and this new collaboration was refined in a countryside home, but the process of developing a new kitchen based on existing framework remains an unfailing approach when function and timelessness are the priorities — a light, intuitive expression of the way we build spaces. The next generation of the ever-evolving FRAMA Studio Collection, Kvänum brings over a century of experience in quality workmanship from their own production.
The middle ground between these two design identities results in a pared back composition: generous kitchens that can offer space for the most mundane daily rituals to the most important celebrations of life. In a way it’s challenging to place the time period of these designs, which feels important for a room that serves so many timeless functions itself.
Working together, the question of material longevity was central to the connection between the Kvänum and FRAMA design identities. Designed to complement your most essential spaces, FRAMA Modules by Kvänum are an extension of research in natural materials, and material selection like birch was one result of prioritizing longevity. Using textural diversity such as wood, stone, and steel, they invoke simplicity and honesty wherever they’re placed, whether in a kitchen, bathroom, or workspace.
This new approach to modules takes FRAMA's distinct design language and fuses it with Kvänum's approach to kitchen-making — which is typically completely custom. In collaboration with FRAMA, this craftsmanship is pared down to an accessible, minimal form for one of the most active rooms within the home. A meticulous blend of form and function in which every detail is taken into account.
