We are infatuated with these hand-crafted frames made from reclaimed Douglas Fir out of Detroit. In particular, the detailing of the rough-sawn edge adds a lovely touch. The frames are born out of a partnership with Urban Ashes, an organization purposefully deconstructing abandoned homes in Detroit. In using a transitional labor force, these valuable and rare materials are diverted from the landfill to create beautiful one-of-a-kind frames.
Co-founder Fabian Pfortmüller was one of the first speakers at our Zürich chapter, where he spoke about design with a conscience. Watch his talk.
