New Bella SPRING 2021 - Hi Fi

It’s been a long cold lonely winter indeed, but the world is slowly opening back up like a hopeful spring bud. Perfect time for some new energizing design options for your shop and our Spring 2021 launch is now available for sampling! We have three collections which all speak to home decor trends for nostalgia and throwback. Enjoy exploring options in sleek colorful lacquers, ornate floral metallics and inspired retro texture. There’s something to thrill everyone and most importantly to thrill your customers.

The third new collection is a groovy number that’s ready to rock-n-roll. Introducing Hi Fi.


HI FI

“Owning vinyl is like having a beautiful painting hanging in your living room.” - Steven Wilson, musician

Most of you dear readers, but sadly not all, can recall the special ritual of carefully pulling your vinyl albums from their protective sleeves and jackets, gently blowing the surface or wiping any dust away and delicately placing the needle in just the right spot. That scratchy hissing sound and then…ah…music. Those upstart whippersnapper cassette tapes in the 80s and the smug compact discs in the 90s tried to take over, but the vinyl album will not go quietly. Any audiophile will tell you that vinyl still offers the best quality listening experience.

Our Hi Fi frames are dialed in to that quality and tactile vintage experience of those favorite vinyl records. The linear texture looks very crisp and timeless and the neutral color palette is soothing while the light wood accent on the lip adds warmth and a hint of nature.

Hi Fi is a subtle 1” wide rounded profile in finger jointed pine with a linear grooved detail precisely milled to join very nicely in the corners. The five colors are black, white and neutral tones of tan and grey. Have fun discovering the color naming conventions which are taken from classic “Hitsville USA” Motown artists working in what was the golden age of hi-fi.

Hi Fi resonates well with any art featuring a strong linear design element. We’ve found it perfect with woodcut prints and it works on diplomas offering just a little something more interesting than your standard office decor. Hi Fi would be comfortable with art deco pieces or mid-century prints as well. Don’t want to sound like a broken record, but of course, you can also use it to frame those favorite vintage vinyl albums.
