FRAME Madison Avenue Flagship Store

Grand opening

Los Angeles-based high-end fashion brand FRAME Madison Avenue flagship store was unveiled in collaboration with Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Erik Torstensson and interior designer Flora Byk. Torstensson's vision for a new era of retail is to redefine the retail environment as an immersive cultural experience with the elegance of an Upper East Side living room.

The new flagship store in Manhattan is an open-plan space with women's and men's ready-to-wear collections, with concrete floors and white walls that feel like an art gallery. Torstensson has curated a rotating collection of collectibles, artworks and decorations to transform the place into a design haven. The unique furnishings and artworks are sourced from selected partners and are designed to provide customers with an unforgettable experience.

In the Jean Royère-style living room, a sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table and sculptures by Alexandre Noll, courtesy of the Jacques Lacoste gallery, are placed on a carpet with fine musical note motifs from the '30s, as well as a chair signed by Diego Giacometti. The wooden space, supported by three sculptural columns, exudes a soft atmosphere, paying homage to the decorative style of the period when the building originated in the thirties of the 20th century.

A Gio Ponti-style hanging showcase is located in the center of the entrance, with mirror-effect glass drawers and a wooden structure. A large oval skylight illuminates the ceiling, a nod to the brand's Californian culture. Inspired by the natural light effects of Los Angeles, the design of the skylight is designed to emphasize and accentuate the tones, materials, and textures within the space. The polished mirrored table has been specially designed for the flagship store and echoes the skylight.

Torstensson invited a range of established and emerging artists and designers to create a flagship space full of personality that celebrates the past and the future. In-store artworks include George Nakashima side tables and sculptures by Akiko Hirai by the Dobrinka Salzman Gallery in New York, as well as works from Galerie HP Le Studio in Paris.

此外, Frank Elbaz画廊收藏的来自日本当代艺术家Kenjiro Okazaki的四幅系列画作、Torstensson个人收藏的Willem de Kooning画作等艺术品也为旗舰店增添别致色彩。

Fotografiska新展

Marco Brambella "Double Presentation"

From June 22 to October 7, 2024, video artist Marco Brambella's new exhibition "Double Presentation" opens at the Fotografiska Video Art Center.

In Marco Brambella's magnificent images, the collective consciousness that people in a particular pop culture context have built together is repurposed and deconstructed. The characters and scenes in Hollywood films become carriers of collective consciousness, and are given a new soul in the magical and complex collage, sharply satirizing the images that overproduce and oversaturate the senses under overconsumption.

The fusion of cutting-edge technology and artistic creativity, as well as the synthesis of 3D elements and visual effects, is essential to achieve Marco Brambella's grandiose artistic expression. By using innovative technology to reinvent pop culture imagery, Brambella challenges our perceptions and invites us to reflect on the intersection of past, present and future. Through the digital landscapes and immersive narratives he creates, he transports us into a realm where reality and fiction are intertwined.

The freely combinable bathroom cabinet can also meet individual needs.

As an upgraded version of HygieneGlaze®, the upgraded ceramic surface texture is smoother and has lower adhesion, and less stains and limescale residue can keep the ceramic surface clean for a long time. At the same time, HygieneGlaze® Plus is highly antimicrobial and has excellent cleanliness thanks to the change in surface tension after the glaze has been improved.
