Framebar is a refreshing and stylish gathering place in history-rich Athens. It is located in the St. George Lycabettus Boutique Hotel,
in the chic Kolonaki quarter. The most striking of the bar’s many
redeeming qualities is the furniture. It does not really look like
furniture. It is not an end result of a rule-restricted manufacturing
process, but more like a time-warp, a fluid process temporarily halted.
It gives you permission to sit, although it also appears like it could
morph into something else any time. Architect Dimitris Tsigos calls
this a rearticulation of typical furniture using continuous geometries
and heat-formed starron (corrian equivalent) and the Spanish marble
emperador. The cuisine is fresh and healthy, and the DJs and fabulous
lighting make this a cool night spot. By Tuija Seipell.
