FAQ

The shipping fee depends on the size and weight of the artwork. The final shipping price will be updated in the checkout once you’ve added your shipping address. We use standard shipping rates and since we want your products to arrive in good condition, we’re using trackable shipping that will handle your package with care.

This means that each print is only made in a set number of editions per size and will never be reproduced again. This stems from old techniques when plates were still used to make prints and the plates could only be used a limited number of times in good quality. Today it’s a way of making sure that prints are kept special and makes sure that the prints won’t be found in every other home. Modern printing techniques still makes these small batches of prints affordable.

The objects come in all types of materials such as plywood, clay and metal. The objects are made by hand, which means that they are completely unique and one-of-a-kind. Keep in mind that they could have little charming and organic imperfections due to being handmade.

Most artworks are made exclusively for The Ode To and aren’t sold anywhere else. At times we purchase few selected pieces that are available in some other places and then we clearly state that in the product description.
