Stepping into the new week like Kraftwerk

KRAFTWERK is an experimental electronic band formed in Germany in 1970. They are innovators and pioneers of electronic music and among the first successful acts to popularize the genre. Looks like they were also the first to use Gorilla Glue in their hair, but we couldn’t find any concrete evidence about that. This welded frame […]

Happy Friday!

San Francisco keeps us busy with amazing art coming in! Have a look at all the different pieces and the frames we designed: This goopy, pink, lacquer frame stacked around this hammered metal frame is the perfect balance of soft and hard for these original Andy Warhol postcards! These postcards were used to promote a […]

Contemporary Art Framing

We loved the photo of the horse and the canvas print of the forest. Both deserved a minimal design contemporary frame. The photograph got a simple white frame with a glazing that protects from dust and scratches and potential UV damages. The canvas was set in an ebony walnut floater frame as dark as the […]

Bay Area Love

We followed the KISS school of thought for the design on this flash piece by the great @ogmikegiant “Keep It Simple Stupid” great advice, hurts my feelings every time. Simple Black Satin Frame, Museum Quality Framing with Museum Glass, framed in the Bay Area at Underglass Custom Picture Framing. Framing for San Francisco since 1982.

Panoramic of San Francisco Framed

As a local Picture Framing business in San Francisco we are always excited and proud to work on a frame design or art that shows the City! We framed this original panoramic photo of San Francisco from the world’s fair in 1915. It’s amazing to see how much the city has grown and changed!

Abstract painting for good Monday framing project

We floated this beautiful abstract by @jkamine_art to show off the cool paper and movement in the piece and added a gold fillet to pull on the warmth and small amount of gold in the painting. Perfect piece of art for a framing project and to show off for nice start of the week!

Framing a mini series of posters

We love framing band posters! What are the odds of these 3 completely, completely different colored frames in the same series happen to work so perfectly with these 3 posters. They were definitely meant to be! We do have a huge selection of frames to offer at Underglass, which made it possible to play around […]

Even with social distancing, masks and sanitizers we are so excited for you to see our new Underglass […]

Vintage Style Frames For Antique Photos With A Modern Twist

We used four different frames with a similar vintage vibe and used the same silk mat to keep these fun pieces cohesive! The antique photos with a modern twist by the artist are float mounted! We love the art we get to frame here in our San Francisco Frame Shop!
