This on-line catalog represents a compilation of the
efforts of many who, together, are part of one of the finest traditions in
home furnishings and design in the world. Employees, salespeople, vendors,
customers, retailers - all have contributed greatly to the evolution of the
product and company.
The designs presented herein have been iterated many times using computer-
aided design technology to ensure perfect geometry, proportion, and scale.
Many of the pieces you will see are almost exact reproductions of pieces from
earlier periods. Others are interpretations that capture the spirit and
essence of a particular period but are not limited by that periods' use of
materials or technology. Still others are pieces that employ an icon that has
mythical, philosophical, or religious symbolism beyond its innate aesthetic
appeal. Because of its inspiration from periods and icons that have timeless
appeal, each design represents a stylistic theme that will never depreciate.
Unlike most lighting fixtures which are merely assembled from stock
components, each Framburg is the product of components we design and
manufacture to the world's highest standards. Consequently, the quality and
design integrity of a Framburg is not compromised by a reliance on existing
parts.
The quest for beauty and perfection does not end after design. In this mass
produced disposable world the craftsmanship of a Framburg stands out like a
beacon and each piece reflects the proud tradition of the Framburg artisans.
Each Framburg is individually hand-made and hand-polished by experienced
craftsmen. Being a chandelier-maker at Framburg is a career, not a job, and
these artisans are the soul of the company.
The result of the aforementioned is an heirloom work of art. While there is
neither time nor space to communicate everything that goes into a Framburg,
the only thing that matters is that the owners appreciation for the product
will grow each day.
