U-Shaped Acrylic Photo Frame

The U-Shaped Photo Frame from Delva Home is built from two materials and no visible fixings: a clear acrylic panel curved into a U, seated in a solid wood base. The photograph slides in from the top and appears to float above the timber, with no border crowding the image and nothing competing for attention.

It stands on its own on any flat surface and takes standard six-inch photos in either orientation, so a portrait and a landscape can sit side by side without matching hardware. Changing the picture takes a couple of seconds, sliding the old one out and the new one in, which makes it well suited to a desk or shelf where the photo changes with the season or the trip.

The acrylic is crystal clear rather than tinted, so colours stay true, and the wood base gives it enough weight to stay put. It works for photographs, small art prints, postcards and pressed botanicals equally well. As a gift it suits birthdays, anniversaries and housewarmings. Clean the acrylic with a soft dry cloth only, as abrasive cleaners will scratch the surface.
