Paper that outlives the room it hangs in.

Four Pillars
What separates an heirloom from a print.
Paper · Ink · Frame · Glazing
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.
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.
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.
