Walltalk: A Unique Blend of Art and Communication

Kontraframe Thorbjorn + Tobias Unveil a Revolutionary Photographic Display

The inspiration for Walltalk came from the designers' extensive experience with corporate exhibitions since 2005. The concept and value propositions have been gradually developed and refined based on customer feedback. The result is a unique medium for internal communication that effectively blends art and storytelling.

Walltalk's unique properties lie in its patented, physical photo frame design and its focus on artistic photography. The frame design, made of wood and metal, uses magnets to hold it together and aluminum plates (DIBOND) to hold the images. This makes it easy to position, rotate, and change the images, offering flexibility and ease of use.

The design team, consisting of Kontraframe, Thorbjørn Hansen, and Tobias Dinesen, faced several challenges in realizing this concept. They wanted to create a photo frame design where the image is not locked away behind glass, but is upfront and demanding attention. The solution was found through trial and error, and the feedback from several commercial clients over the years.

Walltalk is more than just a photo frame design; it's a tool for internal branding. The design combines unique creative skills of artistic photography with the self-designed Magnetic Hover Frame®. The result is unique visual stories about organizational identity, displayed on the walls for everyone to see, every day.

Walltalk's innovative approach to internal communication has not gone unnoticed. In 2012, the design was awarded the Golden A' Furniture Design Award, a prestigious accolade granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. This award is a testament to the design's extraordinary excellence and its significant impact on the world.

In conclusion, Walltalk by Kontraframe Thorbjorn + Tobias is a revolutionary design concept that is transforming the way organizations communicate internally. Its blend of art and storytelling, combined with its unique, patented photo frame design, offers a unique medium for internal branding that is both engaging and effective.
