The art of perfect framing
From 18 - 20 November 2015, the trade fair for museum, conservation and heritage took place in the Museumshallen Cologne. 197 companies from 21 countries were present. Among them HALBE-Rahmen. More than 4000 trade visitors came to the fair.
In contrast to previous years, HALBE was represented by two other companies at the stand this year. Werner-Murrer-Rahmen from Munich and ArtGuardian from Berlin. Together they presented a new possibility of picture framing. Three characteristics combined in one product - protection, control, style.
The HALBE Protect magnetic frame ensures easy changing and protection against fluctuating climate. This is optionally monitored by the ArtGuardian system and can be controlled via browser.

CLIMATE IS AN ART IN ITSELF.
The HALBE Protect magnetic frame combines two decisive advantages. On the one hand, it enables simple, safe and fast framing and changing thanks to the magnetic frame principle. Secondly, it protects against fluctuating humidity. Because its passive buffer technology closes a defined climate and keeps the relative humidity constant. This means that the climate in the picture frame is independent of the climate in the surrounding area. Whether during transport through different climate zones or in exhibition rooms and archives without a regulated climate.
ALWAYS IN THE PICTURE.
Whether during transport or the exhibition - the ArtGuardian system constantly monitors the microclimatic conditions with a sensor in the frame. This sends all measurement data to the user. Via a browser with protected access, the current data can be called up at any time and from anywhere. In addition, the ArtGuardian system alerts the user by e-mail in the event of a violation of the previously defined rules.
For example, if too much humidity is measured. In this way, the new ArtGuardian system offers maximum transparency and security
THE TIME FRAME IS RIGHT
For more than 25 years, WERNER MURRER RAHMEN has been creating elaborate replicas of historical frames, restoring originals and developing innovative frame concepts in its Munich workshops. The team of carpenters, gilders, bookbinders, glaziers, wood sculptors, artists and art historians combine their high level of craftsmanship, aesthetic sensitivity and technical expertise.
Werner Murrer in conversation:
PROTECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
With high-quality art, you shouldn't have to compromise on the frame either. That is why the Protect frames, like all Halbe frames, can of course also be designed as picture frames made to measure . This way, the frame always fits the artwork with millimetre precision.
