Epaulette is a picture frame or mirror where the focus is on the corners.
The construction consists of oak parts held together by L-shaped copper or brass corner profiles. The frame can be hung both horizontally and vertically, on a screw or nail in the wall, through the notches in the back plate.
Epaulette has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2016.
We first discovered these beautiful picture frames at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in Sweden where Ida and Caroline introduced their Epaulette frames to the public. We immediately fell in love with the design and started talking. Ida and Caroline were open to collaboration so back in Holland we started looking for the right partners to produce a small series.
We introduced brass corner pieces and made sure the frames were available in many different sizes.
We devised a handy hanging system so that the frame always hangs straight. We also experimented with different colours of linseed oil so that the frames could be produced in black, green, red and blue.
The Epaulette frames are produced locally in the Netherlands. The product is then assembled in the Vij5 workshop by inserting a Plexiglas plate or glass mirror.
In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.
