Your pictures, minimalist and magically staged

I recently visited a friend who has just moved house. Her flat? Not yet fully furnished, but one detail immediately caught my eye: magnetic picture frames.

No wood, no chunky edges - photos are held in these acrylic frames solely by magnets. They are clean and stylish at the same time. Pictures, dried flowers or other mementos stand stably in them, appear to almost float and attract just the right amount of attention.

The clear, free-standing acrylic blocks are suitable for photos, pictures and other delicate inserts.

What makes these frames so good

I immediately loved the design because it has many advantages:

  • Frameless, but present: The content takes centre stage - without clunky frames or glass.
  • Floating picture change: Thanks to the magnets, you can swap pictures in no time at all.
  • Easy to mount: Whether with two nails, on narrow picture rails or simply put up, mounting is simple.
  • Adaptable: Portrait or landscape format? Works on both sides.
  • Robust and durable: Acrylic is less sensitive than glass and can withstand a lot.

The look that works everywhere

My friend had the frames on a lattice shelf - and it looked cool. No frills, no overloaded decoration. The photos almost seemed to float. And that's exactly what makes the difference: less is more.
