Colored montage background
A colored montage background is a creative and modern way to highlight artwork or prints.
Instead of a traditional passe-partout, the work is placed on top of a colored or textured background, which creates contrast and depth.
The solution is particularly suitable for smaller works where you want to add visual interest and emphasize the work’s expression through color play and composition.
Ideal for both frames and wall installations.
The mounting background cannot be exchanged.
Please note that the actual color may vary slightly from what you see on your screen depending on which mobile/computer you are using right now.

A montage background (sometimes also called backing) is a background on which the poster/art is mounted before it is put in the frame.
The montage background gives the impression of an extra frame/background around the motif, but without the cut-out window like in a passe-partout. It is often used to create contrast or so that the motif does not “flow” directly edge to edge with the frame.
Montage background = colored or neutral surface behind the image in the frame. Personally, we are quite fond of the transformative possibility of a mounting background. For example, if you have a work whose dimensions do not fit a standard frame, it is an easier and cheaper solution to be able to adapt the work to it.
