A manufacturing partner for architects and interior designers


Architects and interior designers can ask ArtzFolio to make framed art, boards, photo frames and mirrors to their own drawings: your size, your frame colour, your artwork. Samples are made and approved first, and the full run follows, from one factory that controls every step.

How to start

  1. Send a briefThe product, a rough quantity and whether it carries your brand.
  2. Sample and quoteYour quote confirms the price, minimum order, lead time and sample plan.
  3. OrderApprove the sample, then the full run is made and packed under your label.

What designers usually ask a maker for

  • A size that is not in any catalogue, because the wall was designed first.
  • A frame colour that matches a material schedule, not a stock colour.
  • Many pieces that must look like a family, such as a gallery wall or a corridor run.
  • Artwork chosen for the space, sometimes your own.

Each of these is a normal request here. Sizes are to brief across paintings, premium frames, boards and photo frames. Frame colours go beyond the six standard colours on request.

Premium frame styles

For feature walls there are floater, deep wooden, metallic and shadow-box styles. Profile and depth for these are agreed at sampling, which means you see a physical corner before the order, not a drawing of one.

Working method

  1. Send the drawing or schedule with the enquiry: product, sizes, finish and a rough quantity.
  2. We reply on what is standard and what is made to brief.
  3. A sample is made. You check frame colour, canvas finish and print against your schedule.
  4. You approve the sample; the full order is made, inspected and packed.

Prices are not published and come with the quote. Typical lead time ranges are on the pricing page, and the quote confirms them.

Worked brief

A worked brief: a gallery wall drawn on an elevation

This is a hypothetical example showing how a designer might brief a maker. It describes no real client and no real project.

The situation

A designer has drawn a feature wall in a private members lounge. The elevation shows a cluster of frames in two colours and a long corridor beside it that needs a run of matching pieces. The colours come from the material schedule, and one frame colour is not a stock colour.

How the designer might write it down

Put the elevation and the schedule in the same email. Mark each frame on the drawing with a letter, then list the letters in a table. Say which pieces are one artwork cut into panels and which are separate artworks. Decide whether the drawing or the physical sample is the final judge of colour, and say so up front.

A point worth writing down

Designers often revise a drawing after the first email. Number each version of the elevation and quote that number in every message, so the sample and the drawing stay linked. Note which dimensions are fixed by the wall and which can change.

Line in the briefWhat to specify
Gallery clusterLetter on the elevation, frame size, frame colour, and the layout drawing itself
Off-schedule colourThe reference from your material schedule, and a note that the match is judged on the sample
Corridor runFrame style, depth, and whether the pieces are a set or a series of separate artworks
Feature piecePremium style (floater, deep wooden, metallic or shadow-box) and the wall it hangs on
ArtworkYour own files, or a request for artwork chosen for the space

Example only. Prices are not shown here. The quote confirms price, minimum order and lead time, and typical ranges are on the pricing page.

What to send: the elevation, the material schedule, the sizes for each lettered piece, the artwork you hold and a rough quantity. Ask for a physical sample of the frame corner and canvas finish before the full order is made.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can you match a frame colour from my schedule?

The standard frame colours are Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold. Any other colour is on request, and you judge the match on the sample before the full order is made.

Is there a limit on custom sizes?

Paintings, boards and photo frames are all made to brief, with a standard size list as a starting point. Very large formats for paintings are made as sets or panels.

Do you make the frames or buy them in?

Frame making, joining, assembly, printing and packing are done in our own factory. That is why a change to size or colour can be discussed with the people making it.

Can I see a physical sample?

Yes, sampling is a standard step before a full order. Say in the enquiry which product and finish you want sampled.
