DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Frames have accompanied artworks for centuries, acting partly as objects and partly as sculptures. Nowadays, they are almost invisible to our eyes, although they play an important role. This project revisits what surrounds art and photography in order to enhance the way we perceive them in their setting, whether in an art gallery, a museum or in our own home. By rethinking these subtle, yet essential supports in the art world, Adorn offers an exploration of assembly and form through the use of widely available aluminium profiles based on different traditional framing techniques.
