Custom and exceptional sizes

The size limits in the planner do not represent the limits of production. By individual arrangement, canvas artworks can be made in sizes up to 3 × 6 metres. We tailor production to the artwork, its destination and transport requirements.

At larger sizes, the decorative frame may require joints. We discuss the framing solution and the visibility of any joints in advance so you can make an informed choice about the final finish.
