THE FRAMEMOBILE will revolutionize the framing industry, by providing in-home custom framing with the highest-quality materials and workmanship, convenience and affordability. THE FRAMEMOBILE will reduce the high cost associated with custom framing by not having a storefront lease, eliminate the risk of transporting valuable art to and from framing and provide a means of allowing our customers to make better framing material selections in the exact surroundings and lighting for ultimate display.
