Check out this article to get an update on what the Scandinavians are doing in the art and enterior designer homes.
These years several new design products pop up everywhere in Scandinavia. Everything from clothing design and retro furnitures like Arne Jacobsens ”The Egg”. This product though has a different approach to the design aspect. It lets the customer do the design. The product is not new, but it has a brand new twist. It is photo on canvas as we know it, but the wooden frame construction has evolved from being a standard 2 cm thick standard frame, like any painting, to a 8 cm thick frame.
When stretched on this massive frame, the image gets a new feel and touch. It really stands out from the wall, and makes the image take the stage in the room. The first company to do this is www.sumopix - store foto billeder på lærred (as they call photo on canvas i Denmark). They let you choose from 2, 4, 5, 6 and even 8 cm thick wooden frames, and you can also see the result clearly before ordering anything. The customer gets to choose the clipping of the image, and also the specific shape of the result. Photo on Canvas pictures are still a new thing for many customers.
But the Scandinavians doesn’t stop here. The company APcanvas – suplier for the European art industry also comes up with cool new products such as a spray for canvas pictures to enhance the colous and make the colors last longer.
Be sure to go to Scandinavia if you are interested in cool new innovative art ideas – Copenhagen ans Stockholm are Meccas for designers. In Aarhus you will find a showroom with www.sumopix.com - big photo on canvas.
I study information Science at the University of Aarhus, and have a major interest in visual communication, and new ideas to enterior design and communication online and offline.
