History
editFrame was launched in 1997 to cover international developments in spatial design. Early content included interviews with designers and coverage of interiors, exhibitions, and material innovation.[3]
Mark Magazine
editIn 2005, Frame Publishers launched Mark magazine as a sister publication focused on contemporary architecture.[4] The magazine featured architectural interviews, project dossiers, and experimental work from emerging studios, and ceased publication in the late 2010s.[5][6]
Projects
editIn 2014, Frame opened a temporary concept store in Amsterdam, designed by i29 Interior Architects. The interior used geometric illusions to reflect the magazine’s visual style.[7] The project received international press coverage and was described by Fast Company as a “walk-in optical illusion.”[8]
Digital Transition and Events
editFrame Publishers introduced a digital membership model in the early 2020s.[9] The publisher also launched the Great Indoors Award and later the FRAME Awards, which recognize excellence in spatial design.[10]
