Created for Swid Powell, the frame reflects Meier’s signature aesthetic: clean geometry, luminous surfaces, and an emphasis on light and transparency. Designed to be viewed from both sides, the frame suspends the photograph or artwork between two panes of glass (or acrylic), allowing the image to appear as though it is floating within its structure.

The result is both sculptural and functional. The absence of a traditional backing enables placement on a desk, console, or tabletop where it can be appreciated in the round—perfect for open-plan interiors, libraries, or offices. The polished metal base and precise construction lend it a timeless, architectural presence that complements both contemporary and transitional spaces.

More than a simple frame, this is a thoughtfully designed object—an elegant intersection of art, architecture, and everyday living.
