The poster slots between the two oak rails — the double-sided magnets hold it firmly without a single pin hole. “I don’t have to pierce my beautiful posters with drawing pins or go to the trouble of framing them. I can change my motifs easily and quickly.” — C.M., customer.What else can I hang in the poster rail besides art prints?Art prints, photographs, posters, calendar pages, sketches, diagrams, announcements — anything A2-sized or smaller. One buyer uses the rail for Wolf Erlbruch calendar illustrations: instead of discarding them after one month, he rotates them seasonally around the room and enjoys them every day. Works in both portrait and landscape orientation.Does the Poster Rail A2 only work with exact A2 format, or can I use other sizes?The rail is 42 cm long — that matches the width of A2 format (42 × 59.4 cm). Narrower prints can also be clamped in; anything wider than 42 cm will not fit. The print does not need to fill the full A2 dimension — smaller prints that leave a small gap at the ends look equally good.Can I order the poster rail as a corporate gift?Yes — the Poster Rail A2 is an elegant corporate gift: handcrafted, practical, and welcome in any office or home. Click “Corporate Gifts” in the top menu — all details on quantities, terms and personal advice are there.Does untreated oak change over time — does the rail need maintenance?Untreated oak develops a natural patina over time and darkens slightly. For a poster rail that sees little moisture, this is ideal: a dry cloth is all that is needed for cleaning. Anyone who wants to protect the wood long-term can apply a clear wood oil — but it is not necessary.side by side Poster Rail A2 — your poster, no pins, no frame.

The construction principle is by Vera von Laufenberg under the Kleinwaren label; the Wendelstein Werkstätten in Bavaria produce the rails by hand. No frame, no glass, no mount: the image remains the image.Untreated oak · double-sided magnets · A2 format · 42 cm · Design: Vera von LaufenbergDETAILS DesignVera von Laufenberg / Kleinwaren ProductionWendelstein Werkstätten, Bavaria MaterialOak, untreated; magnets Dimensionsl 42 × w 2 × h 1.2 cm Weight180 g FitsA2 posters (42 × 59.4 cm) Delivery1 Poster Rail A2 (2 oak rails with magnets, incl. hanging fixture) QUESTIONS & ANSWERSWhat makes the poster rail a design object — and why no conventional frame?Framing is enclosure — the poster rail is the absence of enclosure. Two wooden rails, magnets, image: nothing more. The result is closer to the image itself than any frame could be. Vera von Laufenberg / Kleinwaren reduced the principle to its essentials; the Wendelstein Werkstätten translate it into handcraft.Why untreated oak — what makes this surface a design choice?Untreated means no seal, no lacquer, no optical uniformity. The grain of the oak is immediately visible and tangible. Over time the wood develops a natural patina — an object that adapts to the room rather than competing with it.How does the magnetic system work — how is a poster inserted and changed?Both rails carry double-sided magnets on their inner faces. The poster is placed between the two rails; the magnets draw the rails together and hold the paper securely between them. The upper rail stays on the wall; the lower rail opens magnetically for each motif change and closes again around the new print. No tools, no screws.In which rooms and on which surfaces does the poster rail work best?The slim oak rail (42 × 2 × 1.2 cm) is conceived as a wall object — the poster dominates, the rail recedes. It reads most clearly on white or light walls; against natural stone or textured surfaces, the untreated wood sets a warm counterpoint. Living rooms, workspaces, bedrooms: the format belongs wherever A2 prints deserve a calm place.Who designed the poster rail — and what is the side by side label?Vera von Laufenberg designed the poster rail under the Kleinwaren label — a name that states the essential without embellishment. The side by side label connects product designers like von Laufenberg with workshops for people with disabilities in Bavaria. The Wendelstein Werkstätten produce the poster rails by hand — social design project and wall object in one.Does untreated oak last — or does it age poorly?Oak is one of Europe’s most durable hardwoods — dense, stable, with a grain that absorbs signs of use with dignity. The untreated surface darkens slightly over the years but remains structurally stable. An object that lasts decades and becomes more characterful in the process.side by side Poster Rail A2 — on blickfang-designshop.com.
