  • The loved ones in the picture

    Humans have always been fascinated by their own image. In ancient times, we looked at ourselves in puddles and lakes to catch a distorted image of ourselves; mirrors and smartphones didn't exist back then. Seeing ourselves as we are seen by others is nothing special nowadays, but back then it was a revelation. Anyone who has ever watched monkeys discovering their own reflection will have an idea of what it must have been like for early humans. But even later, the fascination with our own image remained. When we acquired the ability to paint pictures, it became a coveted (and expensive) endeavour to immortalise one's likeness on a canvas. Those who could afford it quickly began to decorate their country houses and castles with elaborate potraits of themselves and their families. This was not just out of vanity. At a time when mortality rates were high and life expectancy low, there was no more powerful proof of one's existence than one's own countenance immortalised on a canvas. Historians owe a lot of insight into a bygone world to this tradition and we now know faces of people we could never have met.

    Today, life looks a little different. Almost everyone is a hobby photographer and portrait painter, equipped with smartphone and selfie stick. Nevertheless, some things from the past have stood the test of time. The material picture that we put in picture frames on the desk or hang on the wall is reserved for our loved ones. However, what used to take up an entire wall now fits in an 8x10cm frame.

    The matching frame in 8x10 cm

    Human beings are diverse and complicated, and so are the relationships they form. Some may be very intense but short-lived, others more sporadic but constant. There is often no one person or people who are "dearest" to you. That's why you can find many different frames in our online shop to suit different occasions.

    Recently had a baby? How about our "Baby Plane" made of white metal, a frame in 8x10 cm? Picture frame and decorative mini statuette in one with 2 extra windows to enter the child's personal details? Or do you prefer your classic style? Then how about an antique frame in the shape of a heart, made of white wood?

    Experienced an unforgettable holiday with friends? What could be more fitting than a group photo in a surfboard frame, possibly Malibu or Miami? Or if it was a round trip, what would be more fitting than to immortalise the most beautiful places in our gallery frame? A material representation of the journey you went on.

    Whatever kind of loved one you want to immortalise, you'll always find something suitable in our online shop. Whether romantic or platonic, our picture frames are tasteful, high quality and flexible. Since all frames are 8x10cm, pictures in the appropriate format can be exchanged later. In addition, many of our frames are available in different colours.

    The gift of memory, a frame in 8x10 cm

    Time passes and with its progression comes change. We are constantly between who we were and who we are becoming. In this constant search, it is therefore immensely important that we can go back in time and remember what was. With a tangible memento, the past remains alive and what was significant remains significant.

    There is therefore hardly a more meaningful gift than a memento of something that means a lot to us. Whether it is a place, a time or a person: We honour what we frame. With this in mind, you will find suitable frames in our online shop to turn special memories into special mementos, to keep and to give away. A picture says more than a thousand words. Or even; what can't be said in a thousand words fits in a frame of 8x10cm.
