A versatile kit, the only restriction is your imagination
At Framemaker, we believe in engaging people in building a sustainable future that is creative and fun! We provide widespread access to simple, locally sourced components to create an endless variety of beautiful structures from trellises to veg support structures.
What is Framemaker?
Framemaker is made up of a simple connector and aluminium bars. This combination can create both static and kinetic structures that are aesthetically pleasing when stood alone.
Why do we do it?
In our throw-away society, we need more adaptive products that can be disassembled and reused.
How do we make it happen?
We have simplified our kit down to just 2 main parts so that we can connect your custom orders directly to the closest manufacture to you.
Innovate
Innovation and adaption is a key value of Framemaker. Share your ideas with us, try building structures for other uses, even adapt it by printing your own connections! We cant wait to see what you produce and take your feedback to further improve our kits.
Materials
At Framemaker we have chosen to use aluminium as our primary material this is due to its durability, high corrosion resistance, lightweight while also being fully recyclable.
Process
We have aimed our product purposefully to be reused multiple times in many different ways so share your designs with others and keep creating, no longer for you? Pass on to a friend or sell online to keep the product from being wasted.
Network
This is the most important aspect of Framemaker without all you makers out there sharing ideas showing how we can evolve and adapt the product we wouldn't be where we are today.

Framemaker will connect you to a manufacturer nearest you, there will be a small wait of 2 - 3 weeks, this is because we are making to order this helps us reduce waste!
Manufacture
The whole kit is manufactured in the same location, is made to high-quality precision made from durable and weather-resistant aluminium.

Sustainable cities and communities
