Derived from the Latin root of “architecture,” Tectura speaks to the frame’s sculptural balance and compositional strength.
Inspired by classical principles of proportion and form, it’s a name that captures the frame’s structural beauty without ornamentation—letting shape, line, and surface speak with quiet authority. Crafted by hand using natural horn bone, the Tectura frame reveals a softly layered surface in tonal shades of cream— warm, like stone washed by time. The material is selected from animals that have passed naturally due to old age, ensuring no cruelty in its origin. Each section is carefully cut, placed, and polished by artists whose precision gives the frame its seamless, weightless form. The architectural geometry is deliberate, understated—allowing the natural patterning of the horn to create rhythm without repetition. A true design piece, it can be placed standing horizontally or hung either vertically or horizontally on the wall. A single sheet of glass holds your photo within—simple, discreet, and allowing the materials to speak. Designed with considered versatility, the Tectura frame may be placed standing on a surface in horizontal format, or mounted on the wall in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Its clean structure adapts with ease to varied interior spaces, offering quiet elegance from shelf to salon.
