Framebridge brought custom framing into the 21st century. Now it's courting designers
Like a lot of direct-to-consumer companies, Framebridge raised tens of millions of dollars to disrupt a stagnant industry—in this case, custom framing. Unlike many of its peers, Framebridge has managed to last: founder Susan Tynan’s company now has a sizable manufacturing operation, dozens of retail locations, and thousands of customers who frame everything from art to diplomas to matchbooks. On this episode of the podcast, Tynan speaks with host Dennis Scully about a new collaboration with Farrow & Ball, why she wants to open a lot of very small stores, and why she wants to reach the trade.
