Bar Vitrine, situated in the heart of Copenhagen, is a project born of cultures and industries, located on the corner of Møntergade and Vognmagergade. According to the founder, “this bar in Copenhagen is like entering someone’s home or kitchen”.
The 16-seat contemporary wine bar and eatery is an organic development of three distinct visions: FRAMA founder Niels Strøyer Christophersen, restaurateur Riccardo Marcon, and chef Dhriti Arora—an “ensemble” coming together in a way that they might not have apart. The result is a space without pretense, much like any endeavor of FRAMA’s could be described, and an intimate experience.
Creative gastronomy and carefully selected wines meet at Bar Vitrine, with a menu devised by a former Noma chef. The space suggests the feeling of finding yourself in someone’s kitchen for a generous, impromptu glass of wine and bite of food — hospitality in the truest sense. Its interior is designed to encourage gathering around honest food, wine, and conversation.
With a beautiful, minimalist interior, where lighting, furniture, and architecture merge into a whole that characterizes the bar’s vision of simplicity and quality, it’s easy to see how Frama’s aesthetic sense is reflected in the space.
Bar Vitrine is situated in a 1960s-era brutalist building. Dark and light wood interiors balance the exterior’s metal and stone. A communal birch table is at the bar’s center, while Frama’s 01 chairs complement tables along the windows. Bar Vitrine is designed and run by furniture brand Frama.
