| What sort of picture is it designed for With Elfi, we first think of a subject that calls for a sense of calm, yet still needs to stand out clearly on the wall. The narrow, 15 mm-wide front edge maintains a pleasantly understated presence. Behind it, the 45 mm deep profile creates a surprisingly striking profile. This gives the picture a firm place in the room without being constrained by a wide frame. The moulding is finished with maple veneer. Beneath the dark anthracite – which lies somewhere between graphite grey and blackish grey – the fine wood grain remains subtly visible. We particularly like this: the matt finish absorbs harsh light reflections, whilst the sides feature a gentle transition between dark grey and an almost black wood finish. With its straight front edge and deep, right-angled profile, Elfi follows in the tradition of modern box frames. Such clean lines were particularly favoured for photography, graphic art and minimalist art prints, as they create distance and draw the eye to the subject. We recommend Elfi for a serene black-and-white family photograph or a modern, graphic landscape. It looks its best when the image features recurring dark lines, shadows or cool colour tones. |
