As the year draws to an end, we wanted to say thank you to all of our wonderful customers, and take a look at some of our favourite framing moments. From Almine Rech to the V&A, we’ve been fortunate to frame for some of London's best museums and galleries. That’s not to mention all of the weird and beautiful framing projects we’ve worked on for our private clients — from a taxidermied bird arrangement, to locks of children's hair, family portraits, antique rugs to Picasso plates and Pettibon prints and an entire apartment's framing for a bollywood star. We have enjoyed it all and hope to see you in 2020!

With the new year fast approaching, we’ve taken inspiration from our work with the V&A, Whitechapel Gallery and Michael Hoppen Gallery (to name a few), and rounded-up some of our best-loved projects to look ahead and predict which interior design framing trends will be popular in 2020.

We're delighted to announce the latest FRAME Editions collaboration - a special new artists’ edition by Marc Camille Chaimowicz co-produced with Nottingham Contemporary, created to celebrate their tenth anniversary.

The edition which comes in a frame designed by the artist, is conceived as a colour-study for a silk scarf. The repeat pattern, printed in five colours, is split into two halves to imply a fold in the fabric, front and back. Each edition is printed onto a hand-applied background in a colour which recurs in the frame design - resulting in each work being slightly different.

This October has seen the unveiling of Kara Walker’s extraordinary new commission for the Tate Modern Turbine Hall - a monumental faux-Victorian fountain entitled Fons Americanus that confronts the way we look at the history of slavery. Running concurrently to the commission is a new exhibition by the artist at Sprueth Magers Gallery, which we have had the honour of framing.

It’s that time of year again - Frieze Art Fair is back and ready to take over your week! Featuring more than 160 of the world's leading galleries, plus a fascinating line-up of talks and events, it’s a must-see for anyone interested in the art world right now.

Here’s a round-up of what we’ve framed at Frieze this year.

This summer, we’ve had the great pleasure of framing Tim Walker’s upcoming exhibition at the V&A. We made a series of specialist bespoke frames for this exhibition, designed and created especially for the show in consultation with Tim Walker and the creative team at the V&A.

This article explains the process of making a pearlescent frame by hand, as seen on the V&A’s Instagram stories this August. From cutting lengths of wood to polishing the final finished frame, we’ll walk you through what happens at each stage in our workshop.

We're delighted to announce FRAME Editions - a new project celebrating the relationship between artist and craftsperson with an experimental series of limited edition artworks.

Launching this September, with Aaron Angell is a small edition of works titled Cabbage Solar. Each work is painted on glass and housed in a frame inspired by the techniques used to make Tudor doll's houses.

Here at FRAME London, we’re committed to conservation framing, meaning the methods, materials and techniques we use are all to a museum standard so as to protect and preserve the artwork for longevity. We explain the techniques of conservation mounting a work on paper, and why it is so important for your artwork.

We are delighted to have framed the latest edition from our partners at Whitechapel Gallery Editions: ‘Haizea M’ (2019) by Pello Irazu. Framed in a warm sapele wood, hand finished in a dark Walnut stain, chosen fro our gallery range to suit the artist’s requirements. It is glazed with anti-reflective glass and has a sub-frame for hanging.

FRAME London were invited to speak at the 34th The London Original Print Fair, held at the Royal Academy in Spring 2019.

For the presentation, we advised print buyers and collectors the best way to frame their prints to conservation standards. Here are a few key elements from our presentation.
