monikehyksiä

Monikehyksiä is a Finnish term used across design and media contexts to describe the use of multiple frames or borders around content. The root elements are moni-, meaning many, and kehys, meaning frame or border; the plural form monikehyksiä literally means many frames. The concept is not standardized in Finnish design terminology and its exact meaning varies with field and practitioner.

In graphic design and publishing, monikehyksiä can refer to a layout approach where content blocks are visually separated by a system of repeated frames, borders, or margins. This creates a cohesive grid and helps guide the reader’s eye. In user interface design and web layout, the term is sometimes used to describe a collection of framed cards or panels, each enclosed by a consistent border or container, often arranged in a mosaic or carousel. In video or photo editing, monikehyksiä may denote a sequence where successive shots are presented within uniform frames, producing a framed, multi-panel effect.

Because the term is not standardized, it is best understood from context. When encountered, one should check how the author defines moni-kehys or monikehyksiä in that specific text or project.
