apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love it. Especially the outside ones. Crazy.

I have a really hard time hanging things straight: I can't imagine trying to get these to line up.

Wow, I really like these.

i'm in love!

i wonder if that's bendy plexiglass or something?

Fabulous!

tres chic

Alana I'm confused, how could these not line up? Unless your walls aren't straight...

File this under "Why didn't I think of it?!" Brilliant. I think a really large scale version would make quite a statement.

Um, no.

it's a novel idea, but can't imagine how these would look appealing in the overall scheme of a room...

OK, Anne, I'm an idiot. I thought that I'd have to hang two separate pieces. I see that it's really one. However, there would have to be two nails, though, on different walls....

not feeling this.

Novel approach to a truly old idea. I appreciate that.

what does one do if one doesn't have perfectly square walls? i guess one doesn't get one...

i want to photograph people peeking around a corner at each other and then hang them that way.

I love this..I think it makes a big statement. I am trying to figure out if this can be a DIY project.

I don't like this idea. At all. It might be cute for visitors to giggle over for a week, but after that it turns the use of a perfectly clean line into a joke.

Some years ago I saw a similar technique used in a magazine article on a tiny bathroom -- the small sink was in a corner, so the owner had used an elaborately framed mirror hung just this way on the two adjoining walls. It was very appealing. If you're thinking of doing it with art, think twice about how it affects the value and integrity of the work.

I like this too but of the examples shown, I think it only works best for the photograph of the tree-lined street where the "inside" design of the frame enhances the effect of the photograph and draws you in. The others just look like broken up images

i agree, the tree lined street looks best.

i think aside from the frame, it's the photo that'll make this hot or not. as a photog, i'm envisioning 8 gazillion awesome setups to make this rock. this is no snapshot frame, fo reals!

I think it would be very sneaky and wonderful to buy these PLUS some normal ones just like them (it's not that exotic of a profile; should be pretty easy) and go ahead and put a whole horizontal row of them and let these go around the corners in one horizontal stripe around a room, and have all the art-work in them be a set of reproductions that look related or a bunch of photos that are related.

kdkaboom,

The frames are made with maple or black birch and bent plexiglass, as you suspected.

The perspective of the allee photo is accentuated by its receeding into the corner, and I like it. As for the other pictures--just "clever" frames. Bleh.

I was going to say to Alana that the angle of the walls would automatically line the picture up. Well they would if the walls were true. And if they aren't, I guess you just don't get one of these frames. . . .

curtis, i love the idea!! if you spin fast enough, the right succession of photos would make a movie! :)



thank you, kristin, for the info!
maybe this can be a DIYable project!

I just can't stop looking at this!
