PHYSICAL PRESENCE

MOVING BEYOND

THE IDEA OF A PRINT

When an image moves from screen to physical space, it does not simply get reproduced. It is translated. Scale, surface, and material define how the image is perceived, how it interacts with light, and how it exists over time. At Lycheeks, physical outputs are defined in relation to their destination and use. Each image is developed to take the form that best supports its presence — whether subtle or bold, intimate or architectural.

The form is chosen so the image can truly belong.

MATERIALITY

SURFACES THAT SHAPE PERCEPTION

Materials are not neutral supports. Each surface absorbs light differently, reflects color in its own way, and changes how an image is perceived over time. We treat materials as part of the visual language — selecting them based on how the image should live, be experienced, and endure.

Canvas

Soft texture, depth, and a painterly presence. Ideal for intimate spaces and images that benefit from material warmth.

Fine Art Paper

Precise, matte, and controlled. Suitable for detailed imagery and editorial-like outputs.

Aluminium Dibond

Clean surface, structural rigidity, and contemporary presence. Works well for bold imagery and architectural contexts.

Plexiglass

Gloss, depth, and light interaction. Enhances contrast and luminosity in controlled environments.

FRAMING

THE BOUNDARY AS LANGUAGE

A frame defines how the artwork meets the wall — and how it belongs within a space. Framing influences proportion, breathing room, and visual weight. It can soften, define, or extend the image’s presence.

The frames shown represent our preferred approaches. Every artwork is curated individually, and alternative solutions can be explored when needed.

ArtBox

Frames with depth that transform a print into a physical object. Adds volume and structural impact, giving the artwork a strong presence as part of the space.

Shadow Box Frame

Creates separation between image and frame, enhancing depth and spatial presence. Works beautifully for photographic or large-format prints.

Gallery Mat Frame

Traditional wooden frame with matting creates visual focus and breathing space, highlighting the artwork’s composition. Perfect for portraits, editorial projects, and refined interiors.

Slimline Frame

Subtle profiles that allow the artwork to breathe, giving it lightness and refined presence. Ideal for contemporary spaces where the image itself is the protagonist.

SCALE & FORMAT

HOW SIZE AND PROPORTION SHAPE PRESENCE

We consider scale as a spatial decision. A print does not simply occupy a wall — it establishes a relationship with it. Dimensions, margins, surface finishes, and mounting solutions influence how an image is perceived, how it breathes, and how it interacts with architecture. Every parameter is calibrated in relation to context.

Custom dimensions and installation solutions can be developed for specific spatial requirements.

Scale & Proportion

From intimate formats to large-scale statements, size is determined by spatial balance and visual intent.

Surface & Finish

Matte, satin, or gloss surfaces alter light interaction and tonal depth. Each finish is selected to reinforce the image’s character.

Mounting & Installation

Edge treatments, floating systems, and structural supports are defined according to the environment and the desired level of presence.
