Services in Berlin’s Akazienkiez
Artrahmen offers a wide range of artisanal services, all of which are carried out in our own workshop. The following sections demonstrate the variety of possibilities.
Custom-made frames
In the workshop, frames made of wood and aluminum are created, individually selected in terms of shape, profile, and color. Whether subtly narrow or expressive and deep, each profile is matched to the picture. Custom-made products provide solutions for standard formats as well as for special sizes.
Framing
Framing involves significantly more than merely inserting a picture. It includes design coordination, the selection of suitable materials, and professional assembly. Artrahmen creates framings for drawings, photographs, prints, paintings, and many other types of images, with conservation protection available upon request.
Canvas Frames and Canvas Stretching
Canvases are stretched onto sturdy stretcher frames, ensuring long-term durability. The workshop produces stretcher frames in many profiles and thicknesses and advises on suitable solutions for paintings and photo prints on canvas.
Shadow Gap Frames
Shadow gap frames are particularly popular for canvas paintings in Akazienkiez, as they create a modern and clear effect. The surrounding gap gives the picture depth and visually separates it from the frame. The selection ranges from natural wood finishes to elegant color tones.
Object Framing
Anyone wishing to have personal keepsakes or three-dimensional objects framed will receive a custom solution from Artrahmen. The workshop produces frames with depth, small internal constructions, and special fastenings, ensuring the object is permanently protected and attractively presented.
Handicraft Frames
For textile works such as embroideries, fabric art, or fine handicrafts, Artrahmen offers special framing techniques. These ensure that the material is smooth, protected, and visually enhanced in a subtle way.
Large Formats and Special Sizes
Large-format pictures and unusual formats are also securely framed. The workshop creates stable constructions that reliably hold even large dimensions while still appearing lightweight.
Custom-made Passe-Partouts
Passe-partouts enhance the depth effect of a picture and create distance from the glazing. Artrahmen custom-makes passe-partouts exactly to your specifications and offers a wide selection of colors, thicknesses, and qualities. Works on paper particularly benefit from a well-coordinated passe-partout.
Gallery Rails and Hanging Systems
For apartments, offices, and studios in Akazienkiez, gallery rails are a flexible solution. They allow for easy changes to wall design and are suitable for individual artworks as well as entire series. Artrahmen advises on the appropriate rail and, upon request, handles the installation.
Glazing Options for Various Requirements
The choice of glass influences the picture’s effect and its protection. Artrahmen offers several variants that are suitable depending on lighting conditions and picture type.
Anti-reflective Glass
A good choice for rooms with changing light, as it noticeably reduces reflections.
Non Reflection Glass
This glass creates a very soft surface and ensures that pictures remain clearly visible even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
Museum Glass
Museum glass offers almost perfect anti-reflection and very high UV protection. It is ideal for valuable works and delicate paper items that require long-term protection.
