Easily Folds
Do you have a limited working area? Maybe you want your background to travel with you? The ability for your background to fold allows you to adjust it to your space and take it with you wherever you go. And did I mention it’s easy to store it?
Imperfectly Perfect
Each background is beautifully imperfect. From the almost artistic knots to the gentle wanes that dance across each board, it’s the imperfections that make the background full of personality and unique.
Stain, not paint
The rich color that penetrates each piece is a delicate stain. Free from harsh smells or toxic chemicals, the stain can transform the natural wood beyond its original state. A soft layer allows the wood to peak through the color while heavy layer brings forth something incredible.
Texture
The grain, lines, and creaks are all part of the beauty that makes a board beautiful, but it is the texture that makes it feel beautiful. Just like the knots and the wanes, the texture adds to the originality and warmth of the background that can be captured within each photo.
Keepin’ it all together
Aligning the boards happens thanks to hinges and panels. The little, yet mighty bearings connect the wood so they can move, open, and collapse.
Hinges
Hinges
All backgrounds are secured with hinges which allow each panel of the background to fold. Standard backgrounds come with hinges across each panel, while Prix Fixe backgrounds come with panels at the center of the background.
Plates
Plates
Limited backgrounds are secured with hinges and plates. Plates adhere the panels in place to keep the background secure. Plates come in galvanized zinc.
