Craftsmanship

Paper that outlives the room it hangs in.

Every Marqami piece is printed on demand in our partner ateliers across Europe and the United States — on the same museum-grade stock used by national archives. Below, the full anatomy of an edition.

Four Pillars

What separates an heirloom from a print.

Paper · Ink · Frame · Glazing

01

The Paper

320 gsm · Cotton

Hahnemühle archival cotton, acid-free and museum-rated. Substantial in the hand — a sheet you feel before you see. Matte coating eliminates glare from any angle.

02

The Ink

12-Colour · Pigment

Pigment, never dye. Bonds mechanically to the fibre, resisting humidity and UV. Independently rated for over 100 years indoors — five times the life of standard inkjet.

03

The Frame

Brushed Brass · Add-on

Solid wood — pine, European oak, smoked ash — never composite. Mitred, joined, hand-finished, fitted with brass hardware. Available as an add-on at checkout.

04

The Glazing

Plexi · UV Filter

Shatterproof plexiglass instead of glass. Travels safely across continents, weighs a third as much, and filters UV — protecting the pigment without the green cast of cheap acrylic.

Four Finishes

The frame is not the punctuation. It is the sentence.

Noir

Matte black solid pine. The deepest contrast — best for bold compositions and dark interiors.

Ivoire

Hand-lacquered white pine. Disappears into the wall, lets the work breathe.

Chêne

European white oak with a clear satin finish. Warm, grain-forward, timeless.

Frêne Cendré

Smoked ash. A subtle grey-bronze depth — our quietest profile.

The Promise

If it would not hang in our own home, it does not leave the studio.

Every Marqami edition is covered by a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Should the frame, paper, or pigment fail under normal indoor display, we will reproduce the piece — at our cost, in your name — for as long as the edition is on record.
