PHILIPPI : Paris

Picture Frame 15x20 cm

A little shine suits a good memory rather well

That one photograph where the light, mood and people somehow came together at exactly the right moment really should not disappear among 4,000 other pictures on your phone. The PHILIPPI PARIS photo frame for 15 x 20 cm photographs gives those memories somewhere visible to live. Its clean silhouette is finished in highly polished silver-coloured nickel, creating a reflective surface that catches the surrounding light and changes subtly throughout the day. Real glass covers the photograph, while the extra-deep 3 cm profile gives the frame an almost sculptural presence. With overall dimensions of 18 x 23 x 3 cm and a weight of 0.54 kg, this version offers more visual space than the smaller 13 x 18 cm PARIS frame, making it particularly suited to portraits, travel photographs, family pictures and small art prints. The reverse is covered in velvet for a considered finish. Standing or hanging? Portrait or landscape? PARIS works with all four options, so thankfully the photograph can make that particular decision. PHILIPPI offers the collection in three popular photo sizes.

More depth, without making a drama of it

The distinctive character of the PARIS picture frame becomes especially clear from the side. Its 3 cm deep profile gives it considerably more presence than a very flat frame, turning a favourite photograph into a small object in its own right on a sideboard, console, shelf or desk. At the same time, the design remains pleasantly restrained. The polished nickel surface introduces reflections and light without competing unnecessarily with the image inside. PHILIPPI has also given some thought to the less glamorous business of changing photographs. Instead of wrestling with awkward clips on the velvet-covered back, the frame uses a simple fastening mechanism that makes replacing the image straightforward. It is a modest detail until a new favourite photograph comes along. The option to use PARIS standing or hanging and in portrait or landscape orientation adds welcome flexibility for different rooms and compositions.

The photograph tells the story. The frame knows its part.

PHILIPPI is known for home accessories and gifts shaped by a clear, functional approach to design. Founded by Jan Philippi, the brand has grown from northern Germany into an internationally recognised name. Restrained forms and polished metal surfaces are recurring elements within its collections, and both are very much present in PARIS. It is precisely this kind of restraint that appeals to us at LIVOSY. A good home accessory does not need to take over a room. It can simply become part of it, remain useful for years and still have enough character never to feel anonymous. The PHILIPPI PARIS frame follows that idea through its combination of clean geometry, real glass, highly polished nickel plating and a velvet-covered reverse. The frame does not try to tell the story for your photograph; it simply gives that story a clearly defined place.

Small galleries rarely start out as a plan

One PARIS frame on a console, another beside it, and suddenly the collection begins to make rather good sense. As the range is available for photographs measuring 13 x 18 cm, 15 x 20 cm and 20 x 25 cm, different sizes can be combined while retaining the same polished design language. For a more varied arrangement, pair PARIS with other PHILIPPI photo frames such as CELESTE or PABLO, both of which are also offered in a 15 x 20 cm format. Against dark wood, the reflective silver finish creates a stronger contrast; alongside pale stone or glass, the result feels calmer and more graphic. Add a vase, a decorative bowl or a few favourite books and leave a little space around the composition. After all, the idea is not to decorate every available centimetre. It is to give that one photograph a place where you still stop and look at it.
