CACHE is a hand-finished walnut frame that holds the pictures you'd save first in a fire — quietly, permanently, without a single app notification breaking the moment.
Most digital frames are built to be noticed as devices. We built ours to disappear into a room the way a good piece of furniture does — and to be repaired, not replaced, for as long as you keep it.
Air-dried for eighteen months, then hand-sanded in our Vermont workshop. Every frame carries the particular grain of the board it came from — no two are identical.
The stand, hinge, and back plate are cast and hand-polished brass. Left unlacquered on purpose, so it ages the way a doorknob or a kettle does — honestly.
A low-glare panel calibrated to render like a printed photograph under lamplight, not a phone screen. It draws almost nothing — a full charge lasts weeks.
No account wall, no daily prompts, no ads between your family photos.
Wipe it down, set it on the shelf or hang it — the back plate has both a stand and a keyhole mount.
The companion app pulls straight from your camera roll or a shared album. No new social network to build.
CACHE reads light, colour, and orientation and rotates the sequence slowly — never a jarring cut mid-conversation.
"I stopped noticing it was a screen about a week in. Now it's just where my mother's kitchen table lives, twenty years ago and today, side by side."
Every part is sourced to be repairable on its own — including a spare-parts programme that runs for fifteen years.
