What is that print-hanging system on the wall...
« on: October 23, 2016, 02:06:17 pm »

behind Kevin and Chris in the Toy Shop IV video? Can anyone point me to the company that makes it? I've tried searching Reviews and Forum topics but didn't find an answer. Thanks.

I make the frames. These frames will be for sale we hope by mid-December.  We have just finished putting together a production elsewhere in my building where we can make these frames, finish them and ship them.  As I have said elsewhere on the forum I am traveling extensively until December including a trip to Iceland this week and the LuLa Antarctica trip a week after that.  I'll post on the site and the forum when these frames are available.  They will come in sizes to handle prints up to 72 inches.  Available in flat black, glossy black, flat and glossy white with a light and dark wood finish arriving early next year.  If I could stay home long enough I would get this finished.  So, a bit more patience please.

Kevin,
Great to hear that the framing system will be out soon can't wait to get my hands on some.
With all this gear talk, it's nice to see something seemingly so simple yet at the same time so elegant to hang prints
Well done

Randy there is no link.  Many readers have seen these frames on the LuLa office walls and asked about them.  See the latest Toy Shop video.

Hopefully I'm not stepping on Kevin's toes here, but from afar the system seems to be a combination of a standard "picture hanging system" (Google for multiple options) combined with magnetic bars similar to Stiicks ( http://www.wearewellmade.com/shop/stiicks ).

So I take it there is an e-commerce section of the site coming soon?

I've used it. Quite reasonably priced and dead simple to use. Materials are quite good.

I use less expensive paper for these as they're not for permanent display and while not in direct sunlight are not protected by a coat of lacquer.

I'm quite pleased.

If you are looking for CHEAP, I developed a similar system 15 years ago using inexpensive plastic conduit ($1.20/10 ft). Cut it into appropriate lengths, then saw a slot into it on the table saw. Two small holes near either end to hang on two 6p finishing nails on the wall. Keep print in slot by attaching crack & peel foamboard strip to edge of print.

Oh, yes, I paint the conduit, because it comes in gray with printing on it. Comes in various diameters!
