At Frames Now, we recently had the privilege of framing an extraordinary piece of sporting memorabilia: a signed Daniel Ricciardo's racing suit from the 2021 Formula 1 season, during his time driving for McLaren.
Showcasing the Honey Badger's Legacy
Daniel Ricciardo has long been a source of pride for Australian motorsport fans. His nickname, "The Honey Badger," is a nod to his fearless approach on the track, combined with his unmistakable charm off it. To honour this legendary status, we included a custom plaque within the frame that reads The Honey Badger, ensuring his legacy is celebrated as part of the display.
The Framing Design
To properly showcase such a significant piece, we used a meticulous framing design that balanced style, protection, and visual impact:
-
Triple Stacked Frame: The three-layered frame creates a striking, dimensional look that draws attention to the racing suit while giving it the prominence it deserves. The bold colour palette was chosen to complement McLaren's iconic orange and blue livery.
-
Rebate Spacer with Mat Lining: To keep the suit in pristine condition, a rebate spacer was included. This design choice creates a gap between the glass and the suit, preventing any direct contact. A mat lining within the rebate adds an extra touch of elegance, seamlessly tying the design together.
- UV70 Anti-Reflective Glass: Preserving the vibrant colours and intricate details of the suit was a top priority. The UV70 anti-reflective glass not only reduces glare but also offers protection from harmful UV rays, ensuring the suit remains in perfect condition for years to come.
Craftsmanship Meets Passion
Framing a piece as iconic as this requires an expert touch, and our framing consultation team approached this project with the care and precision it deserved. Every element, from the colour selection to the positioning of the suit, was carefully considered to deliver a result that's both visually stunning and museum-grade in quality.
