Frederik Gustav

Frederik Gustav is a Copenhagen design studio formed by Frederik Weber and Gustav Dupont, both born in 1992, and working from a workshop at Fabrikken for Kunst og Design on the island of Amager. The pair moves between furniture, lighting, objects and installations, merging design, architecture and art.

Its language comes from construction techniques left visible: exposed frames, slats and joints that show how a piece is made. Projects include the Arbor suspension light developed with MycoWorks for the Reishi in the Nordic Light collection, the Pylon and Spor series, the BUK bench and editions for Frama; the studio has taken part in the Mindcraft Project and in 3 Days of Design, and describes its aim as objects that carry an artistic depth and provoke a sense of wonder.
