History

''Frame'' was launched in 1997 to cover international developments in spatial design. Early content included interviews with designers and coverage of interiors, exhibitions, and material innovation.

Mark Magazine

In 2005, Frame Publishers launched Mark magazine as a sister publication focused on contemporary architecture. The magazine featured architectural interviews, project dossiers, and experimental work from emerging studios, and ceased publication in the late 2010s.

Projects

In 2014, ''Frame'' opened a temporary concept store in Amsterdam, designed by i29 Interior Architects. The interior used geometric illusions to reflect the magazine’s visual style. The project received international press coverage and was described by ''Fast Company'' as a “walk-in optical illusion.”

Digital Transition and Events

Frame Publishers introduced a digital membership model in the early 2020s. The publisher also launched the Great Indoors Award and later the FRAME Awards, which recognize excellence in spatial design.
