Picture: Mr.Jojic and his hand-carved wooden frames.
I have a few paintings hanging on my wall that cost less than the frame they are in. I recently discovered, as I talked to Mr.Jojic, a frame-carver, that I am not the only one paying more for the frame than for the painting. The reason is simple: a custom-made frame can give a painting or picture the special touch and make it look better. I still remember hanging huge posters on my wall when I was a teenager and the big difference a frame made (never mind that the said posters were of Guns n Roses!). Mr. Jojic is the last of two frame-carvers in Zurich. He has a little shop in Seefeld and his workshop is on Hegibachplatz. Mr.Jojic can produce any type of frame for pictures, paintings or mirrors by hand. But he is known for carving beautiful wooden frames. His shop is only open on Saturday or by appointment. But better call beforehand as he spends six months of the year in Greece painting, fishing and free-diving! Profil: Seefeldstrasse 136 in Zurich. Phone: 076 414 77 64.
