More Than Just Eco-Friendly Art.

Our Mission

Making The World A Greener Place

Every day we make it our mission to improve our sustainability efforts, as we believe in giving back as our company grows. These are just some of our latest pledges to promote the environment.

Protecting Our Planet

At Abstract House, we set out to create something much more than an art gallery and framing store.

We believe in giving back to our wonderful planet, protecting it for generations to come.

The UK's First Plastic-Free Art Gallery

In 2019 we became the first art gallery to ship our artwork and frames in 100% recyclable packaging without plastic.

We also omitted plastic from our entire manufacturing process and use only the finest sustainable materials for our collection of art and frames - the first gallery to do so.

Useful Guides On Sustainability

Disrupting The Art Market

We were astonished by the amount of plastic waste produced and usage of plastic in general by the art industry and we thought to make a change.

To make a real change, you have to start with you. And that is what we did. We removed all bubble wrap from our packaging, replaced glazing with real float glass and use fully recyclable packaging, including kraft tape for our boxes. 

We put the U and I in Sustainable.

We are committed to creating a more sustainable environment and future. Our products are handmade using eco-friendly materials from our FSC certified papers for our art prints and posters to real glass for our wooden frames.

Get the art you love without compromising on quality or sustainability, from our house to yours.

Responsible Delivery Solutions

Our delivery fleet is currently 95% electric, and by December 2023 we pledge to be 100% electric.

FSC Certified Papers

We have spent years searching for the right paper for our fine art prints. We use FSC certified papers, which means that you can purchase with confidence knowing that you are helping to prolong the life of our forests around the world for generations to come.

Our wooden frames are also FSC certified and the wood used is from sustainable forests. 

Solid Glass, Not Perspex

Our picture frames and framed posters come with float glass, not perspex. This not only gives you the most vivid colours for your artwork, but is a celebration of quality craftsmanship. It provides the art with an authentic feel while protecting our oceans by not using plastic.

Handmade To Order

We produce everything from our wooden frames to the art prints by hand on the day of your order, to minimise waste and reduce our carbon footprint.

Zero Plastic

We saw the impact plastic products do to the environment and we wanted to change that. So we didn't just reduce the use of plastic but we removed it all-together. Now while you can enjoy a high-quality product, you can also help protect the world we live in.100% plastic-free from our house to yours.

100% Recyclable Packaging

We are proud to be the first and only online art retailer to offer artwork with 100% plastic free packaging and all of our boxes are 100% recyclable.

We are working even harder to ensure not only you receive a high-quality product but also protect the environment as we go along.

Carbon Neutral By 2024

We pledge to become Carbon Neutral by 2024. We already support numerous environmental projects, and are being assessed for BCorp and Carbon Neutral status which we hope to achieve in 2023.

Our Commitment To Planting Trees

In 2023, we have chosen to support a number of environmental and tree planting projects, including the World Land Trust who are currently planting trees in Armenia, Brazil and India.
