DESIGN METHOD
After an interview and a photoportrait Kees Wennekendonk produces three designs in the form of fullsize coloured drawings on sheet, which can be placed on the portrait. The client can decide at his leasure which corresponds to her/his requirements.

MATERIALS
Kees Wennekendonk only uses 100% legal and natural materials in the manufacture of his frames. The correct material will depend on the personality and nature of the client they are intended for. Materials range from the more obvious wide range of woods to the use of Indian Buffalohorn, Scottish Highlanderhorn and even 17.000 year old Mammoth tooth.

STYLING
Each set of frames is personally handcrafted by Wennekendonk to suit the physical atributes of the client, and styled to suggest those more etherial and personal qualities that are unique to every client.
