At Fram Studio Company, we feel a strong obligation to storytelling. Storytelling is uniquely human, tracing back to the origins of humanity itself.

The bulk of the flag points Forward  into the wind, while the lesser tapered side points backwards . A perfect ratio for how we envision Fram Studio Co.

Among these titles, he was well known for leading the first team to cross Greenland’s interior in 1888 and 1889, and later commissioned the building of the Fram for his North Pole dash. Roald Am

Fram, pronounced “Frahm”, is named after an early polar sailing vessel. Fram, meaning “Forward” in Norwegian, was commissioned by Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen and brought into service in 1892. Nansen wanted to test a bold theory with it. While on his expedition to be the first to cross Greenland in 1882, Nansen noted driftwood and earth from Siberia in the ice. He theorized, alongside the meteorologist Henrik Mohn, that there was an East-West current over the Arct

Ryan Rumpca March, 2026 Here we are built on the belief that stories should be earned. We value truth over trend, and we find the strongest stories lie at the intersection of curiosity, adventure, and lived experience. We love to feel  the moment firsthand, not relying on a translation to show how our subject felt. We draw our inspiration from early explorers – those who ventured into the unknown on the quest for knowledge and advancement. Their expeditions were not just feat
