Some projects stay with you – Art Installation at Stanford Children’s Health
This recent installation at Stanford Children’s Health is one of them. It’s a reminder that custom framing in San Francisco can shape not just walls, but experiences.
We were honored to be included in this project. It meant a lot to our team to contribute to a space designed for children, families, and caregivers.
At Underglass Custom Framing in San Francisco’s Castro District, we always come from a place of care and attention. In this case, the goal was to create something that feels light, durable, and quietly engaging.
We framed a series of paper sculptures using plex boxes. Each piece was mounted against a vibrant fabric backing, adding depth and warmth.
At the same time, the presentation remains clean and contained. This balance allows the artwork to feel present without becoming overwhelming.
In places like children’s hospitals, these choices matter. Artwork can offer moments of calm, distraction, and even a sense of comfort.
Because of this, custom framing in San Francisco often goes beyond aesthetics. It becomes part of how a space supports the people moving through it.
Thoughtful Design, Built Over Time
Our approach to custom framing in San Francisco comes from over 40 years of experience. However, it is also shaped by the people behind the work.
Our team includes working artists who approach framing as a design process. Each decision comes from an understanding of materials, proportion, and visual balance.
Just as importantly, we are a local shop working closely with our clients. We listen, we adjust, and we respond to the needs of each project.
This combination – experience, artistic perspective, and human connection—guides how we approach installations like this one.
Museum-Quality Framing Materials
As with all of our custom framing in San Francisco, we use conservation methods and durable materials.
For this project, we used:
- Secure mounting techniques to support each piece
- Plex boxes to protect and define the artwork
- Materials selected for long-term stability and clarity
These choices help ensure that the installation remains consistent over time.
