Material & Framing

Six framed canvases on the wall of one of Lucerne's best vintage furniture showrooms. Plus, a legendary Swiss lamp you can now hang in your own home.   We've been fans of MOEBU for a while. Their showroom at Baselstrasse 25, 6003 Luzern, is the kind of place where you walk in for a quick look and leave an hour later having learned something. Mid-century sofas, Space Age lighting, tubular steel desks, vintage objects from across Europe. Nothing is there by accident. Every piece has been chosen because it's genuinely good, and the room knows it. So when the opportunity came to bring OBJEKTNUMBER into that space, we didn't think twice.   Six A1 Canvases in the MOEBU Showroom For the MOEBU showroom at Baselstrasse 25, we installed six A1-format framed canvases on a single wall. Six prints, side by side, in a room full of objects that have already proven themselves over decades. It's a different kind of pressure than hanging work in a white-walled gallery, and honestly, a more interesting one. Our prints aren't meant to be background. They're meant to be part of the conversation a room is having with itself. Next to a Togo sofa or a vintage BAG Turgi floor lamp, they either hold their own or they don't. We think they do. The installation is up now at the MOEBU showroom in Luzern. If you happen to be in the city on a Saturday, it's worth a visit, both for the prints and for everything else in the room.   The BAG Turgi Lamp Print The installation was one part of this collaboration. The other part is something we're quite proud of. Introducing our first jointly released product: the BAG Turgi Lamp print, now available at OBJEKTNUMBER. BAG Turgi, formally Bronzewarenfabrik AG Turgi, has been making Swiss design history since the early 20th century. They worked with Max Bill, Carl Moor, and Siegfried Giedion on lighting that's now considered some of the finest mid-century work to come out of Switzerland. Originals sell for serious money on the vintage market, and for good reason. MOEBU had one. They photographed it. We turned that photograph into a print. That's really the whole story, and we think it's a good one. A genuine object with genuine history, made accessible in a format that works on your wall at home. Neither of us could have done this without the other. If vintage Swiss design is your thing, or if you're just someone who appreciates objects that were built to mean something, take a look.   Why These Two Brands Make Sense Together MOEBU sells objects that have already survived the test of time. Everything in their showroom at moebu.ch, Baselstrasse 25 in Luzern, was chosen because it's still worth owning decades after it was made. That's a pretty specific editorial position, and we respect it a lot. OBJEKTNUMBER approaches walls the same way. Every print in our collection is made to order, no overproduction, no trend-chasing. Typographic, conceptual, and now photographic work, printed on materials with a 100+ year colour guarantee. The idea is simple: buy something you'll still want on your wall in twenty years. Putting these two things in the same room at Baselstrasse 25 felt natural from the start. In hindsight, it was probably inevitable.   Materials and Sizing The BAG Turgi Lamp print is available in multiple sizes, framed or unframed. If you're not sure what works for your space, our size guide is a good starting point. It covers wall dimensions, viewing distances, and how to think about sizing, whether you're hanging one piece or planning something larger. Every OBJEKTNUMBER print is produced to order in two formats. As a fine art print on Enhanced Matte Art Paper 200gsm, acid-free with deep colour reproduction, available framed in black, white, natural, or brown with museum-quality acrylic glass. Or as a stretched canvas, in vibrant UV-resistant colours, hand-finished over a custom frame of European knotless pine with a 100+ year colour guarantee.

What Is Giclée Printing? Giclée printing is a professional fine art printing method used to produce museum-quality art prints. The term comes from the French word gicler, meaning “to spray,” referring to the precision inkjet process that applies microscopic droplets of pigment onto archival paper or canvas. Unlike standard poster printing, Giclée is designed for longevity, depth, and colour accuracy. It is widely used by photographers, artists, and galleries when reproduction quality matters.   What Makes Giclée Different? The difference lies in materials and process. Giclée prints use pigment-based archival inks, professional high-resolution printers, heavyweight fine art paper or premium canvas, and colour-managed workflows. These elements preserve subtle tones, deep blacks, and accurate colour reproduction. Standard posters are often printed with dye-based inks on thin paper. While affordable, they tend to fade over time and lack tonal depth.   Why Archival Inks Matter Pigment-based inks sit on top of the paper fibres rather than soaking into them. This allows greater detail retention, smoother gradients, stronger contrast, and increased resistance to UV fading. When paired with museum-grade materials, Giclée prints can last decades under proper indoor conditions. That longevity changes how a piece exists in a space. It becomes something enduring rather than temporary.   Paper vs. Canvas Giclée printing can be applied to both archival paper and canvas, each creating a distinct presence. Archival Paper offers a crisp and precise surface, ideal for photography and close viewing distances. It enhances contrast and fine detail. Canvas provides a slightly textured surface with softer reflection and a more painterly appearance. It works particularly well for larger formats and statement pieces. The choice depends on atmosphere, lighting, and personal preference.   Why It Matters Photography relies on subtle tonal shifts and controlled shadows. Lower-quality printing can flatten those details. Giclée preserves depth and dimensionality. Designed artworks benefit from clarity and edge precision. Professional printing ensures clean lines, accurate saturation, and consistent contrast.   Made to Order Each piece is produced when ordered rather than mass-produced in advance. This ensures fresh production, careful quality control, and reduced material waste.   Final Thoughts Not all prints are created equally. Giclée printing represents a professional standard used by galleries and fine artists worldwide. It preserves colour, depth, and intention — allowing a work to remain present in a space over time.
