Inside EasyFrames: the engineering behind a frame you build in minutes
Framing a stretched canvas has always meant the same routine: carry the canvas to a frame shop, wait on the framer's schedule, and pay for a custom job. We thought that process deserved a rethink. Not a cheaper version of the same frame, but a different kind of frame altogether.
EasyFrames is a modular canvas framing system. It arrives as a kit, comes together on your table in minutes, and hangs on your wall with the clean finish of a professionally framed piece. Here is what's inside.
A frame built from sections
Instead of four long, fragile moulding pieces, each side of an EasyFrames frame is made from precision-engineered sections. That's what makes it easier to ship, and why the frame matches your canvas: the sections combine into the exact size you ordered.
Straight sections join with a bayonet-style connection that locks them together. The corners use a connection inspired by Japanese joinery, where the parts are shaped to hold each other. No glue, no screws.
Magnets that are already in place
The magnets are built into the frame before it ships, so there is nothing to install. They reinforce the connections as the frame comes together, and later they hold the exterior finish in place.
Your canvas, held from behind
With the structure assembled, lay it face down on a flat surface and set your canvas into it, face down. The frame is designed for stretched canvases about 0.5" to 1.5" deep, which covers the most common depths. You simply enter yours along with your size.
Small retaining clips, included in the box, press into place along the back and hold the canvas firmly in the frame.
The finish goes on magnetically
Flip the frame over and attach the veneer, the visible exterior of the frame. It lines up with the built-in magnets and settles into position, covering the structure completely. What you see on the wall is one clean, continuous frame in black, white, light oak or walnut.
Ready to hang
Mounting points are built into the back of the frame. Depending on your wall, you may need a drill or anchors for the wall itself, but the frame itself needs no special tools.
What you don't need
- A trip to a frame shop, or carrying a large canvas across town.
- Glue or special tools to build the frame.
- Magnets or hardware to install inside the frame. They're already there.
- To wait on a framer's schedule.
The engineering should disappear
Every part of EasyFrames went through rounds of prototyping and refinement, so the complicated part happens before the box reaches you. Our goal was never just to make another frame. It was to make framing simple: easier to order, easier to ship, easier to assemble and easier to live with.
Measure your canvas, enter the size, and see your frame in seconds.
