custom framing & Mounting

Bespoke, professional

The 45th Degree are bespoke framing specialists. You name it, we will try to frame it. From original artworks, mixed-media pieces, photographs, certificates, medals, cross-stitch, jewellery, sport memorabilia, or sentimental objects, our one-on-one consultation process ensures we find the best creative solution to protect, enhance and compliment your precious items.

With a wide variety of NZ made and International mouldings to choose from, all our frames are joined and finished by hand in our Wānaka based workshop. We have an extensive range of matboard colours, as well as glazing solutions for all budgets.

We also offer services such as re-glazing, blockmounts and canvas stretching or can source special touches such as engraved plaques, captions or printing.

Have an outlandish idea? Get in touch to see if it is something we can assist you with.

  • At The 45th Degree, we understand that truly beautiful framing enhances artwork without distracting from it. Respecting, protecting and enriching your artwork is our highest priority, and we welcome you to join us for a free design consultation during which we can discuss the best options for you.

  • We stock hundreds of mouldings, mat boards and a wide variety of glazing and mounting options. We specialise in creating made-to-order frames in consultation with our clients to suit their specific needs.

  • Paintings on canvas, photographic prints on canvas, fabrics and textiles can be stretched so that they can be enjoyed on your wall. Stretching is an essential process for the presentation of your works on canvas and is also important for the longevity of your artwork so that it does not sustain damage or cracking from being rolled up for extended periods of time. Please be aware that stretching is a case-by-case service as not all canvas is created equal.

  • Block mounting is a cost effective solution for getting your posters and photographic prints ready for display. The process allows for a clean and minimalistic presentation of your images which can be framed at a later date if desired.
