Large Framed Posters Beyond the Standard 70x100 cm

The standard framed poster range stops at 70x100 cm, and that ceiling is real. What exists above it, when a custom size is worth asking for, and where canvas takes over.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

No. Framed poster editions of Ipolit Strambu's work are not currently available at Auvrique, and the framed poster format itself tops out at 70x100 cm. For a bigger print of his work, the practical route is a canvas edition, which runs in larger dimensions and suits big walls better than framed paper.

Why framed posters stop at 70x100 cm

The 70x100 cm limit is a constraint of the format, not of the artwork. A framed poster is paper behind glass or acrylic, and past a metre wide the glazing becomes heavy, fragile and expensive to ship intact. Most print sellers draw the line somewhere near this point for the same reason. Auvrique's framed poster range ends at 70x100 cm, so a custom size Ipolit Strambu framed poster above that dimension is not something that can be ordered.

This matters less than it first appears. At 70x100 cm a framed piece already holds a wall of four or five metres comfortably, especially with a wide mount. The point where a framed poster genuinely starts to look small is a very large room, a double height space, or a wall above a long sofa. Those are canvas situations, and the honest answer is that the format should change rather than the paper grow.

When a custom size is actually necessary

Custom sizing earns its cost in three cases. The wall has an odd proportion, such as a narrow vertical panel beside a fireplace, and no standard ratio fills it without dead space. The room is large enough that a 70x100 cm piece reads as a stamp rather than a picture. Or a pair of prints must align exactly across two frames, which standard sizes rarely manage.

If the wall is simply big, canvas is usually the better answer than an oversized frame. A canvas edition carries no glazing, so it scales past a metre without the weight and cost penalty, and Strambu's tonal, painterly surfaces read well at that scale. For sizing against a specific room, the guide to print sizes for a 10x12 foot living room works through the arithmetic, and the canvas versus framed poster comparison covers the trade offs in detail.

Signs you need custom sizing

The wall has an unusual proportion no standard ratio fills
The room is large enough that 70x100 cm reads small
Two or more frames must align across a shared wall
The print must fit an existing frame or recess exactly

What to do about a big wall today

Measure the wall first, then the furniture under it. A print above a sofa should span roughly two thirds of the sofa's width, which for a standard three seat sofa lands near 120 to 140 cm. That figure is beyond any framed poster, and it is the moment to look at canvas instead. Larger art print options for big walls almost always mean canvas for exactly this reason.

Availability is the other half of the answer. Auvrique does not currently list editions by Strambu, so the size question sits behind a stock question. The guide to buying his prints online sets out where editions do exist, and the canvas editions page shows how the larger formats are sized when an artist is in the catalogue. Check both before committing to a wall plan.

Past a metre wide, the problem is not the print. It is the glass in front of it.

Format	Usual maximum	Best suited to
Framed poster	70x100 cm	Standard rooms, smaller walls
Canvas	Above 100 cm on the long edge	Large rooms, big blank walls
Custom size	Case by case	Odd proportions, exact fits

Key takeaways

Framed poster editions stop at 70x100 cm, so no larger framed option exists.
The size ceiling comes from glazing weight and fragility, not from the artwork.
For walls that need more than 70x100 cm, canvas is the format that scales.
Auvrique does not currently carry Strambu editions, so check availability before planning a purchase.

Related questions

What is the largest framed poster size available?

70x100 cm is the top of the framed poster range. Beyond that, the glass or acrylic panel becomes heavy and vulnerable in transit, which is why most sellers stop there. If a wall needs something bigger, a canvas edition is the format designed to go past a metre on its longest edge.

Can I order a custom size print of Ipolit Strambu's work?

Not at Auvrique, which does not currently list editions by this artist. Where a seller does offer custom sizing, expect a longer lead time and a price above the equivalent standard size, since the print is produced to order rather than pulled from stock. Measure the wall before you ask for a quote.

Is canvas better than a framed poster for a large wall?

Usually, yes, above about 100 cm. Canvas has no glazing, so it stays light at sizes where a framed piece becomes cumbersome, and the frameless edge suits big walls. Framed posters hold an advantage below that threshold, where the frame gives a smaller print definition and presence.
