Jens makes frames for Bekkur/Bænk 1,2,3,… from Salts on Vimeo.

We use four digital 10″ frames in our Icelandic setup at café Tíu Dropar.

To be able to fix them firmly and safely to the walls, we asked Jens Kristinsson to make for us wooden frames that would incase the digital ones.

Here is a short video we shot of Jens at work.
