Our Mediums
Each Iron & Ivory piece is produced to order. This measured approach avoids excess inventory, reduces unnecessary production, and allows a work to begin its physical life only after it has been chosen for a particular space.
The medium changes how the work is encountered—quietly tactile on paper, grounded by wood, precise in metal, or luminous in acrylic. The image remains the same; its presence does not.
Archival Matte Paper
An unframed presentation for collectors who want to choose the final relationship between artwork, frame, and room. The natural-white, uncoated surface softens reflection and preserves the work’s material restraint.
- Finishing: Matte, uncoated, natural white (off-white)
- Acid-Free: With a pH above 7, the artwork is protected against yellowing
- Weight: Substantial 250 gsm (110 lb) with a thickness of 0.29 mm (11.4 mils)
- Sustainable: FSC-certified paper, supporting responsible forestry and environmental stewardship.
-
Printed to order and shipped ready for framing.
Wood-Framed Archival Print
The warmth and visible grain of responsibly sourced oak or ash give the work a grounded, tactile edge. Each frame is naturally distinct and arrives ready to hang.

- Color: Natural black
- Measurements: 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, wider than the classic 14mm (0.55") frame.

Metal-Framed Archival Print
A narrow aluminum profile gives the work a precise architectural boundary without competing for attention. Paired with natural-white archival paper, it creates a restrained balance of structure and softness.
- Simple assembly is required
- Material: Durable aluminum.
- Measurements: Approximately 20mm (0.8") thick and 10mm (0.4") wide.

Acrylic Print
Our most luminous presentation. The polished surface heightens depth, contrast, and reflected light, giving the image a sharper and more immediate presence.
- Material: 4mm (0.15") acrylic for a sleek, vibrant, and durable finish.
- Design: Straight-cut corners for a modern look. Transparent backgrounds default to white for optimal presentation.
- Hanging Kit: Includes hardware, screws, and screw holes at each corner (14mm (0.55") from the edge, with an 8mm (0.31") diameter hole and 15mm (0.6") screw head).
