Our Vision
Frames that Don’t Put Borders on Your Individuality

Frames that Don’t Put Borders on Your Individuality

Guided by precision, intention and artistry, we discover and honour the extraordinary stories people choose to frame, transforming every artwork into something personally significant.

A Philosophy
Like No Other

A Philosophy
Like No Other

We always start with your story, not the frame. Using your identity as the inspiration, we go beyond the conventional, the dry and the predictable to craft an entirely bespoke frame that captures exactly what you want to say and what you want to experience.

“ACME Framing does an amazing job of working with you to ensure your artwork is presented at its best. I had a number of pieces, very personal that had been left to me by a friend passed, in addition to pieces collected on my travels - and ACME Framing did the most amazing job recommending frames to best present these works.”
