Artrahmen Services at a Glance
Artrahmen offers a particularly broad range of services, which are realised in its own workshop. Each frame is created individually and is technically and stylistically adapted to the motif and the living environment.
Custom-made Frames: Craftsmanship Precision for Every Motif
Custom-made frames are the heart of our work. Whether narrow wooden strips with a fine grain, wide profiles for expressive works or modern aluminium frames, the selection is large and offers solutions for almost every style.
The consultation shows which frame profiles give the picture peace or which models emphasise the colours. Some motifs benefit from warm natural tones, others from cool surfaces or from deep profiles that give the picture additional presence. Thanks to the precise craftsmanship, the frames remain dimensionally stable, durable and reliable.
Framing: Careful Design and Permanent Protection
A frame consists of far more than the visible presentation. In the workshop, each picture is first smoothed, cleaned and provided with suitable backing materials. This is followed by the dust-free construction, which ensures that the motif remains clear and unadulterated.
Works on paper in particular require professional treatment. For these cases, the workshop offers preservative materials that are free of acids and plasticisers. This ensures that the picture remains protected in the long term and does not take on any discolouration.
Stretcher Frames and Canvas Stretching: Even Tension for Paintings and Canvas Prints
Canvas works require a stable basic tension so that they retain their shape and the surface does not appear restless. Artrahmen manufactures stretcher frames in different profiles and wood thicknesses. This makes it possible to find the right solution for every motif, which is both visually and technically convincing.
Particularly large-format canvases benefit from a stable construction, as they require even tension to remain straight in the long term.
Shadow Gap Frames: Elegant Framing for Canvases
Shadow gap frames create a modern and floating effect. The surrounding gap gives the picture space and allows the motif to stand out clearly. Artrahmen offers various depths, colours and materials.
Whether natural wood surfaces, calm shades of white or dark profiles, the frame is adapted to support the picture without being intrusive. Many canvases from Friedenau are framed in this way, as the combination is timeless and versatile.
Object Framing: Safely Present Three-Dimensional Memories
Objects tell stories and need a frame that is both aesthetic and protective. The workshop develops individual interior constructions so that objects such as small collectibles, textile works or personal mementos remain clearly visible without losing stability.
The frames are designed so that the object can appear free and is optimally protected at the same time by distance and fixation.
Handicraft Frames: Careful Framing for Textile Works
Embroideries, fabric pictures, crochet work or woven works of art require special treatment. Artrahmen carefully aligns textile works, ensures smooth tension and selects frame profiles that emphasise the structure and colour without impairing the material.
Large Formats and Special Sizes: Stable Frames for Unusual Formats
Very large pictures or unusual formats place special demands on stability and construction. The workshop manufactures frames with reinforced inner profiles, stable stretcher frames or tailor-made back elements so that the picture is held securely despite its size.
The design is coordinated so that the picture looks light and is not crushed by the depth of the frame.
Custom-made Passe-Partouts: Clarity, Depth and a Harmonious Picture Effect
A passe-partout creates distance and calm. It directs the view to the motif and at the same time protects sensitive works on paper. Artrahmen manufactures passe-partouts with millimetre precision and offers a large selection of structures, colours and cardboard thicknesses.
Especially in the bright apartments of Friedenau, warm natural tones or subtle shades of grey are often chosen, which blend harmoniously into the living style.
Gallery Rails and Flexible Hanging Systems
Gallery rails are ideal for people in Friedenau who want to rearrange their pictures more often or add new motifs. The systems can be installed discreetly and enable flexible design without additional drilling. The workshop advises on models that remain visually discreet and at the same time offer reliable suspension.
Glazing: Protection and Visibility in Perfect Harmony
The choice of the right glass is crucial for the effect of a picture.
Anti-reflective Glass
Anti-reflective glass reduces annoying light reflections and ensures that the motif appears clear and calm.
Non Reflection Glass
This type of glass has a matt surface and enables a particularly gentle representation, even in strong light.
Museum Glass
Museum glass is characterised by an almost invisible surface and a very high UV protection. It is ideal for sensitive works and valuable motifs.
Optium® Acrylic
Artrahmen also uses an anti-reflective acrylic glass version of the Optium® Acrylic brand. This material is particularly light, shatterproof and optically clear. It is the ideal choice for large-format works or rooms where safety and weight play a role. Thanks to its special coating, it appears almost invisible and at the same time offers excellent UV protection.
