Portfolio Category: FLOATING FRAMES

Floating frames, shadow box or studio wrap frames for canvases.

Handcrafted Picture Framing on the Gold Coast since 1995.

  1. Floating Frames:
    • Design: Floating frames are designed to create the illusion that the canvas is “floating” within the frame. They are typically thin, minimalist frames that allow the entire front surface of the canvas to be visible from the front.
    • Mounting: The canvas is mounted within the frame using spacers or clips, which keep a small gap between the canvas and the frame, giving it the appearance of hovering within the frame.
    • Aesthetic: Floating frames offer a modern and contemporary look. They are a great choice when you want to showcase the entire artwork without any obstruction.
  2. Shadow Box Frames:
    • Design: Shadow box frames are deeper and have more depth compared to standard frames. They create a three-dimensional effect and can be used to frame canvases and other objects with depth.
    • Mounting: The canvas is typically set back within the frame, and there is a visible gap between the canvas and the frame. This gap can be used to add depth or create a shadow effect.
    • Aesthetic: Shadow box frames are often used to give a sense of depth and significance to the artwork. They work well with canvases that have texture or 3D elements.
  3. Studio Wrap Frames:
    • Design: Studio wrap frames are a type of frame that is designed to directly support and frame a canvas. They are typically deeper than traditional frames and are specifically built to accommodate canvases.
    • Mounting: The canvas is stretched over the frame, and the frame itself is often hidden from the front view, giving the canvas a clean, gallery-wrapped look.
    • Aesthetic: Studio wrap frames are often used when you want the canvas to appear as if it’s seamlessly wrapped around the edges. This creates a contemporary and unobtrusive presentation, emphasizing the artwork itself.

Each of these framing options offers a unique way to enhance the presentation of your canvas artwork. The choice between them depends on your personal aesthetic preferences and the nature of the artwork you wish to display.
