Polaboy

If you’re anything like me, you have tons of Polaroid pictures lying around and have nothing to do with them. Until now… The German design duo Lightboys developed the large-scale Polaboy® frame.

They take a Polaroid picture, professionally scan and enlarge it on a scale of 10:1, and then expose it on special slide film. The image is then framed in a backlit wooden Polaboy® frame and shipped worldwide. The effect is quite beautiful with the warm look of a Polaroid combined with the cutting edge LED technology.

You have the option of sending in your own Polaroids or choosing from their catalog of images.
