Why we are unique
Eco Framing was established in 1980 by photographer, curator, and designer Bennett Hall to produce exhibit programs and service his art consulting firm Business Image Group. Now open to the public for retail, you can access the same resources that created projects for the US District Courts,
Washington Hospital, Palace and Omni Hotel, Momos, San Francisco Bay Clubs, Charles Schwab and Hills Brothers Coffee —
full-service custom framing for individuals and businesses.
Eco Framing is family-owned an Oakland-local business, with Bennett and his wife Helen leading the company.
Our approach to framing centers on sustainabilty featuring our diverse inventory with over 500 different in-stock mouldings, many from sustainable
US sources, which solves the supply chain problems in today and eliinates the inefficincy of special orders.
This enable Eco Framing to be “greener” as well as more efficient, quicker, and affordable.
