FRAME from Asplund: Storage That’s Never Out of Style
“Our Swedish heritage teach us that a piece of furniture should be something that you live with.”
Asplund’s mission is simple: quality furniture designed with timelessness and sustainability at the forefront. And their growing collection of modern home furniture and storage solutions stand as proof of their dedication to this vision. There is something about the Asplund family of designs and designers that inspires irresistible elevated home comfort. With each Asplund cabinet and table we are more enchanted with their Scandinavian inheritance and ability to create versatile pieces that complement any modern home. One of their most notable collections is Frame, a series of storage that's never out of style.
FRAME
One of their most iconic lines of home furniture is the FRAME collection. This series of storage and display cabinets simultaneously rethinks the very purpose of the cabinet, while also faithfully serving the traditional purpose. These stalwart and trusty pieces—from Frame 160 to Cabinet F—are not just home storage solutions, they are art.
And the best kind of modern art: the kind that allows you to customize and style it however you like. For example, the glass-fronted Frame Cabinet might be simple lacquered MDF and metal, but the wide shelves and glass doors allow the user to play with the contents. This way, the storage cabinet becomes the trophy hub, the display case, the treasure trove, or maybe the lowly bookshelf. In any case, the items you love most don’t need to hide, they can be shown with pride and panache.
Designed by the duo Anya Sebton & Eva Lilja Löwenhielm, the Frame series broke onto the scene in 2017, gracing the world with its minimalist aesthetics, charming leather details, and complete adaptability.
Harnessing the life and durability of natural materials and blending it with monochrome palettes the Asplund cabinet is an asset to every room it enters.
How to Use Asplund Frame Cabinet
This simple collection really is one of Asplund’s most versatile. The personality of every Frame piece comes out best when it is allowed to be a modest companion. We recommend using Frame in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. But certain items from the series would work really well in offices as well.
For the office, pair the Frame 160 Cabinet with the Divot Tray and Phase Table Light for an understated side credenza. Utilize the three inner shelves to organize files, electronics, and office supplies behind discreet and smooth folding doors.
For the bedroom, use the Snow Cabinet F as a bookshelf. Or, organize extra pillows and blankets on its six shelves. Another fantastic use for this glass-fronted tall cabinet is as clothes storage. Neatly folded sweaters, boxes to hide away socks, and display items for jewelry will turn this pretty cabinet into an easy-to-access wardrobe.
And in the dining room and living room, the Frame Cabinet and Low Frame 160 will help you store needed items. We recommend using both in harmony with the rest of your furniture. The Frame Cabinet, with it’s asymmetrical doors and glass front is a fantastic place to keep plates and glasses. While the Low Frame 160 makes a wonderful sideboard.
Asplund Cabinet Sustainability
The sustainability of each Asplund cabinet is a vital aspect of its design and purpose. At their core, Asplund follows simple policies to keep their production facility and design studio as eco-friendly as possible. For example, they focus on the longevity of their furniture, ensuring that it is functional and beautiful for generations to come. Additionally, they create their collections in small batches, use certified woods, source locally wherever possible, and invest in their workers and craftsmen.
For Frame, it means using a newly-developed water based lacquer that has the Nordic sustainable mark.
This dedication to the earth—the very place the wood for Frame originates—ensures the lifecycle of Asplund home furnishings is continuous. More than that, it guarantees that each Frame cabinet brought into your home is a piece of and benefit to its environment.
