Choosing a frame
ed. art provides framing as part of the purchase. We partner with skilled framers across Stockholm to custom-make your frame after you have placed your order.
All artworks come with a framing proposal. If you want to order another frame, just get in touch. The proposals are black and white wooden frames as well as wooden frames from oak, walnut, birch and light-stained birch. A few artworks come with a thinner metallic black frame.

Framing with mount
The mount is the cardboard frame that is sometimes placed around the work of art, within the frame. Most of the time it overlaps the artwork itself, hiding the edges of the artwork.
When does one use a mount?
This is of course a matter of taste, but we often put mounts on lithographs with cut edges and flatter paper and box frames on etchings and other hand-printed artworks that have deckle edges and more structure in the paper.
Examples of frames with mounts
Float frames
A float frame means that a small batten is inserted between the frame and the cardboard on which the artwork is attached. This allows the artwork can "breathe" more than in a frame with a mount. It is a framing that fits, for example, artworks that are printed on thick paper, artworks with a relief or artworks with deckle edges where you want to see more life in the paper than you do if you press it down and hide the edge with a mount.

Our best art hanging tricks
We’ve been hanging art in hundreds of homes and thought we might share some of the lessons we’ve learnt. So we made a series of video tutorials to share our best tricks.
How the prints are made
Come along to the printshop to see how artworks such as lithographs, etchings and drypoints are made.
