The history of Framburg, the American designers and manufacturers of high end lighting products, is long and storied. In 1905, Henry Alfred Framburg founded the design firm in Chicago, Illinois, with the mission of designing and manufacturing the highest quality commercial and residential grade lighting fixtures.

Well over one hundred years later, and Framburg is still pursuing this mission rooted in the artisan work ethic – all while using updated manufacturing techniques now available in contemporary times. It was not long ago that the designs were painstakingly rendered by hand, but these days the expert designers at Framburg use modern computer technology to achieve a superior balance of proportion and scale.
