Friis & Moltke

The year is 1954. Frank Sinatra’s blasting from gramophones around the world, West Germany is offered NATO membership, and Knud Friis and Elmar Moltke are founding their legendary studio FRIIS & MOLTKE. The Aarhus-based company is behind a series of public and private buildings around Denmark and abroad, including in Ankara, Turkey, and Nuuk, Greenland. Since its founding, the brand has made a significant mark on Danish and international design and architecture. FRIIS & MOLTKE is owned and managed by eight partners, and the brand designs everything from enormous public buildings to tiny, elegant lamps.
On this page, you can find Friis and Moltke lamps from the brand’s collaboration with Frandsen, including the incredible Minneapolis collection, which is home to everything from pendants and table lamps to wall lamps, not to mention the eternally elegant FM 1954 and FM 2014. Check them out below! We’re confident you’ll fall head over heels for the legendary designers’ designs.
