‘Framework’ Season 1 Cast: Meet The 13 Contestants Before The Jan. 6 Premiere Of Spike’s New Furniture Reality Show

Spike, the network that brought you “Bar Rescue” and “Ink Master,” is introducing a reality series about furniture. On Tuesday, Jan. 6, their latest competition show, “Framework,” will premiere with hip-hop artist Common as host.

If you’re like Brick Tamland of "Anchorman" and “love lamp,” then you won’t want to miss “Framework.” The 10-week series will pit 13 furniture designers against each other for a chance to win $100,000 and “the opportunity to launch their furniture nationally.” But the competition isn’t as simple as designing and building something that is structurally sound and great to look at – the contestants will have to “use unconventional materials, rethink classic furniture pieces, and incorporate a variety of techniques and disciplines to demonstrate their mastery of furniture creation.”

The series has teamed up with Ace Hardware, which will use a “hub station” to provide contestants with power tools, paint supplies and more. American industrial designer Nolen Niu and Gore Design Company founder Brandon Gore will join Common to judge the competitors and eliminate one person each week.
