Description
This is a geometric framed print built from arches, curves and one large circle, set in a pine frame behind glass. The shapes overlap and interlock like the pieces of a puzzle, with thin bands running along the edges of the larger blocks, and the words "the arches" sit in small lowercase type in the lower margin. It is a multicoloured piece, but a quiet one: the tones are soft and close together, so the pattern reads as calm rather than busy. The frame measures 32cm across, 42cm tall and 1cm deep, a portrait shape, and it weighs 1KG.
At this size it suits the spaces where a large canvas would overwhelm the wall: a hallway, a landing, the wall beside a desk in a home office, or the space over a bedside table. Being so slim, it can also lean against the wall on a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or a console table, which lets you move it around the house whenever the mood changes. Because the palette stays soft, it sits comfortably beside wood, linen and plants, and it suits anyone who likes pattern but prefers it understated. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who has just moved home.
The frame is pine and the front is glass. Glass keeps dust and stray fingerprints off the surface behind it, and it gives the artwork a light sheen where daylight falls. The frame profile is narrow, so the picture is mostly artwork and margin rather than wood, and the wide border around the shapes gives them room to breathe. For a gallery wall, hang it at eye level as the anchor and build smaller pieces around it, or pair it with a plain mirror and a single plant on a console for a simple, balanced arrangement.

Frequently Asked
How big is the frame?
The frame is 32cm across, 42cm tall and 1cm deep, a portrait shape that suits a hallway, a landing or the wall beside a desk.
Which materials make up the frame and front?
The frame is pine and the front is glass, so the print sits protected behind a clear surface that keeps dust off the artwork.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1KG, which makes it easy to move between rooms or to lean on a mantelpiece, a shelf or a console table.
Can it stand on a shelf instead of hanging?
Yes. At 1cm deep it is slim enough to lean against the wall on a shelf, a mantelpiece or a console table.
What colours does the print use?
It is multicoloured, with soft, closely matched tones across the arches and the large circle, so the overall effect is calm rather than bold.
What does the text on the print say?
The words "the arches" sit in small lowercase type in the margin beneath the shapes, naming the design in a quiet way.
