Sublimating works of art

Muzéo is the place to bring works of art, images and memories to life by framing them. The team of framers is made up of passionate craftsmen with genuine expertise. They pay particular attention to every detail, whether to create a complex artistic composition or to enhance the simplicity of a visual. Muzéo is there to bring a vision to life. 

The framing profession at Muzéo is unique. It requires a wide range of skills, from handling of different materials to a multitude of projects every week. This particular context requires exceptional versatility on the part of the artisans. It is important to emphasise that the fruits of their labour are the result of in-depth thought and collaboration between different sectors, such as the project manager, the design office, the creative team and the iconographer.

Each Muzéo frame is unique, specially adapted to the works and made to measure according to the customer's preferences. Muzéo offers a wide range of options in terms of colours, woods and frame compositions so that every detail can be customised to suit the work (paper, canvas, etc.). 

This uniqueness makes the team's projects and skills particularly special, making them versatile professionals. Their ability to embrace this diversity is one of the most striking aspects that sets the Muzéo team apart.

The project in Al-Khobar was a pivotal undertaking for Muzéo, showcasing the technical expertise required to enhance paintings on large-scale canvases. The creative team executed an exceptional amount of work, meticulously attending to every detail to deliver a distinctive and exclusive outcome. Each piece was refined with handcrafted precision, reflecting the artistic and technical excellence of the team.

This project presented significant challenges, both artistic and logistical. One of the most critical and complex phases involved stretching the canvases onto stretcher frames. The dimensions of the canvases, each measuring 3 metres by 3 metres, posed substantial logistical challenges. The scale of the project was considerable, necessitating the production and framing of 60 canvases of this size.

Stretching canvases of this magnitude required advanced technical proficiency to maintain consistent and balanced tension across the entire surface. The process was fraught with risks, including distortion, creasing, and warping. Additionally, the handling of the wooden stretcher frames demanded precise manual calibration of tension to ensure structural integrity and visual perfection.

The scale of the canvases also impacted frame design. To ensure optimal stability, the frames were engineered to accommodate the weight and dimensions of the artworks without compromising their aesthetic presentation.

The second project involved a commission for a leading luxury jewellery brand, demanding the design and production of bespoke frames. Each frame was custom-built, from the moulding to the glass, resulting in a one-of-a-kind product tailored to the client’s specifications. Working in collaboration with the design office, the framing team developed a high-end solution that met the client’s luxury standards while addressing the challenge of mass production. This project required the manufacturing of thousands of frames, balancing the intricate handmade craftsmanship with the scalability of production, making it a technically demanding and highly complex undertaking.
