Recycled Wood used for Picture Frames
Whether from the deck of a ship, an old painted ceiling or an antique fence, every piece of timber used to produce a distressed wood picture frame tells its own story. The wooden mouldings collected for our shabby chic photo frames are carefully stored and processed on our farm in the Karoo, north of Cape Town. The dry conditions of the Karoo semi-desert ensure that the wood and the old paint is well preserved before being made into a beautiful rustic reclaimed wood picture frame.
The founders - Brian & Mark Fanner
In 1996, brothers Mark and Brian Fanner founded Luna Designs with the intention of creating sustainable jobs in a labour-intensive industry.
Since then, their company has been producing handmade rustic photo frames from recycled wood. Each picture frame is made with great attention to detail in a contemporary industrial style that goes well with modern and shabby chic interiors.
