Frames. Real Ones, Though.
A story
of broken glass.
For years, we only sold the pieces. Then we realised the wrong frame could ruin them. So we built the right one.
For years, we said no.
When you're holding an Opera Poster that's handmade, one of a kind, thought through and cared for down to the last detail, the last thing you want is to see it in some terrible plastic frame, or behind thin glass that shatters out of nowhere, just like that.
Or worse, in transit.
Or, sheer madness, shattered into a thousand pieces by a kid's stray ball, or by pure bad luck.
That's partly why, for a long time, we didn't sell frames.
We'd rather not do it than do it badly.
We focused on the piece.
On the colour.
On the impact it has the moment you see it.
Then we started researching.
For a long time.
Found it, rejected it, broke it, started again.
Until we created something we'd choose for our own home: real solid wood, unbreakable museum-grade synthetic glass.
Inside, proper steel pins (not those flimsy little tabs), 4mm anti-humidity board, a beautiful, smooth back in branded Kraft paper.
An invisible suspension system.
Like the old workshops used to make.
This isn't a frame.
It's the home your piece deserves.
Add it to your Opera Poster.
We'll set it up.
All you have to do is hang it.
That's it.
