A modular framing system designed for Koen Taselaar’s intricate jacquard tapestries. The frames bring woven works off the wall and into the space. Each freestanding frame is made from CNC-punched and folded stainless steel profiles, inspired by the design of a life-sized Meccano set. Perforated patterns of circles, squares, and triangles reduce the structure’s weight while adding ornamental detail. Unlike wall-mounted displays, this system makes visible the back sides of the textiles, revealing the complexity and craftsmanship of the tapestries.
