bespoke framing

Arten has facilities to make custom moulding profiles from rough timber. The bulk of our work is contemporary simple timber profiles however on occasion the need for something more unique arises. There are various levels of difficulty when manufacturing a certain shape and this sometimes needs certain design thought. Some of the profiles are a little more complicated such as the old dutch inspired frames and others are less so such as the geometric shapes with certain angles.

Here is a selection of projects we have worked on where we custom designed and machined our own bespoke timber mouldings. Most of the these designs were worked on in collaboration with clients to achieve a certain aesthetic and other times we came up our own designs as part of our product development.
