We're continuing to have lots of fun experimenting with flocking. This time we've taken an ornate decorative frame and flocked it in soft lavender. Its very romantic and feminine - perfect for a boudoir...
We've shown it here with a chalk board, which gives it an interesting textural contrast, but it would work equally as well on a mirror or perhaps a brightly coloured poster.
This beautiful frame is inspired by the glamorous Art Deco era.
Made from three sections of aluminium. The two outer sections have been patinated to achieve a gun metal finish to offset the steel finish on the inlaid section .
This design can be adapted with different patinated finishes and the inlay can be switched for timber or fabric. We think fake zebra skin would work well....
Artist Tamara de Lempicka's bold cubist style was clean, precise and elegant - all key qualities that we have embraced in this new frame design.
This one off mirror was inspired by the curved sculptures of Colombian artist Botero. At an impressive 2 x 2.3 metres, with a 14cm wide frame, it is a shining example of the large format projects that come through our workshops.
The frame has been hand gilded with 23 1/4 carat gold leaf on a red clay base. This has then been rubbed through with pumice powder to achieve a red glow, before being burnished by hand.
John Jones are a unique frame design studio and fabricator based in London. We have over 50 skilled craftspeople, including gilders, welders and dry mounters. We are continuously developing new design ideas for framing artwork and mirrors. We'll be publishing images and ideas on this blog. Please feel free to comment and add new ideas!
