This unique picture frame is attributed to Dior Home and dates back to the 1970s. It is crafted from Vienna straw, a woven natural material that adds texture and an organic feel to the piece. The frame is set in a geometric structure with a modern, angular shape, typical of the bold, experimental designs of the 1970s. The Vienna straw weave forms a grid-like pattern, with small circular openings across the frame. This pattern creates an airy, almost lattice-like effect, which gives it a sense of lightness and transparency despite its structured form. Embedded within this woven structure are two circular plexiglass windows in a vibrant blue. These windows are striking against the natural color of the straw, and the bold blue hue adds a pop of color that enhances the frame's modern aesthetic. This frame exemplifies the 1970s blend of natural materials with modern, synthetic ones, characteristic of the era's interest in contrasting textures and colors. It is both a functional picture frame and a decorative statement piece that would have suited a chic, avant-garde interior. The picture frame it's in lovely condition
