PHYSICAL PRINTS
Choosing the right physical support
Materials, finishes, and scale influence how an image lives over time. We help identify the physical format that best supports your image, its context, and its intended presence.

A short conversation focused on material, scale, and use.
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.
DESTINATION & USE
WHERE IMAGES LIVE AND ARE EXPERIENCED
An image does not exist only as a physical object, but as a presence within a specific context. Its destination — domestic, professional, or cultural — shapes scale, material choices, proportion, and long-term perception. We never begin from formats in isolation, but from real conditions: where the work will live, from what distance it will be viewed, and how it will engage with light, space, and people. This is what transforms a print into a coherent and enduring presence.
Let’s define the final presence.
Every physical print begins with a dialogue. Material, scale, and framing are defined in relation to space and intent.
