Larson Juhl Metalia Frames: Sleek Italian Craftsmanship Meets Modern Design
Larson Juhl Metalia frames offer a sleek, modern touch for showcasing artwork. At Articient, we proudly present these frames as part of our Logan series. Designed and crafted in Italy, the Metalia frames combine elegance and practicality, providing a beautiful way to enhance any piece of art.
A Modern, Sleek Design
To begin, the Larson Juhl Metalia frames feature a thin face measuring just 3/8". This thinner profile creates a streamlined look compared to other frame series, like Spencer. The squared-off face, paired with a shimmering metallic finish, adds a modern touch while keeping the artwork front and center. The matte-finished sides create a refined contrast to the metallic face, adding depth without overpowering the artwork.
Unlike many other frames, the Metalia design brings a perfect balance between luxury and minimalism. Its sleek style suits contemporary and modern art pieces, highlighting the beauty of each work.
Stunning Metallic Finishes
Next, the Larson Juhl Metalia frames offer a range of metallic finishes that shimmer and catch the light. Articient proudly offers these frames in four beautiful finishes:
- Champagne Floater Frame #355907
- Gold Floater Frame #355906
- Silver Floater Frame #355905
- Black Floater Frames #355904
Each finish is crafted with fine etching techniques, creating a subtle texture that enhances the metallic sheen. The face’s shimmer results from delicate scratches on the surface, giving the frame a dynamic look. This adds visual interest while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated appearance.
The Art of Etching and Marquetry
To achieve the shimmering effect, Larson Juhl uses traditional Italian marquetry techniques. By finely scratching the surface of the frame, artisans create an intricate texture that catches and reflects light. This technique adds depth and elegance to the frame’s finish.
In addition, the careful craftsmanship used in the etching process ensures a high-quality finish. The frame’s face comes alive under different lighting conditions, subtly shimmering without overwhelming the artwork. This craftsmanship sets the Metalia line apart, giving each frame a unique and luxurious feel.
Floater Frames for Maximum Impact
Moreover, the Larson Juhl Metalia frames feature a floater design, which provides a contemporary way to display art. The floater frame allows the artwork to appear as if it’s suspended within the frame, giving the piece maximum visibility. This design creates a clean and polished look, perfect for modern and contemporary art.
Articient offers the Metalia floater frames in two rabbet depths:
- Standard depth (1 3/4") for thinner canvases.
- Ultra-deep rabbet (2 3/16") for thicker canvases and panels.
By using a floater frame, you ensure that your artwork remains the focus. The sleek frame design subtly enhances the piece without detracting from the art itself.
Why Choose Larson Juhl Metalia Frames?
There are several reasons to choose Larson Juhl Metalia frames. First, their thin, metallic face adds a sophisticated touch while keeping the artwork in the spotlight. The fine etching on the surface creates a unique shimmer, adding depth and texture. The smooth matte sides offer a contrasting element, further enhancing the frame’s modern look.
Second, the floater design maximizes the artwork’s exposure. This design choice suits modern pieces well, as it provides a minimalist, clean presentation. Each frame finish—whether Champagne, Gold, Silver, or Black—has its own charm and can be chosen based on the artwork’s aesthetic.
