Overview
An elegant photo frame by Giorgio Tura for Tura Milano, made in Italy in 1980, combining natural goatskin parchment with clear acrylic glass. A refined desk object that reinterprets the Tura atelier's signature parchment in a light, modern, early-1980s key.
This frame reflects the refined, material-driven language of the Tura Milano workshop.
It pairs a structure in natural goatskin parchment — warm, luminous and marked by the organic veining and amber shading typical of the material — with clear acrylic glass that holds and protects the photograph. The contrast between the tactile, honey-toned parchment and the transparent, modern acrylic glass gives the piece an elegant tension between craft and contemporaneity. Freestanding and beautifully finished, it frames an image while standing as a decorative object in its own right.
Design & Function
Conceived as a freestanding photo frame for a desk, console, shelf or bedside table, it holds a photograph within its acrylic glass while the parchment provides warmth and structure. Its clean lines and luxurious material make it as much a decorative accent as a functional frame.
The pairing of parchment and acrylic glass makes it versatile, at home in both classic and contemporary interiors.
Materials & Aesthetic
The piece showcases the Tura atelier's mastery of parchment — the luminous surface, natural veining and warm tonality of goatskin — here combined with the transparency and lightness of acrylic glass, in the spirit of early-1980s Italian design. The result is sophisticated and tactile, uniting the artisanal quality of the parchment with a modern, graphic clarity. The parchment retains a beautiful patina, with natural variations and minor signs of age consistent with the material and the period.
