Every Map Tells a Story — not just of continents, countries, and cities, but also of the effort, precision, and artistry required to bring them to life. While industrial machines contribute to the production of our maps, the skill and care that go into each step play a far more significant role in the process.
In this blog post, we take a closer look at the journey each wooden map embarks on, from raw material to becoming an essential part of your home decor.
From Concept to Creation
Inspiration — The journey of our maps begins with inspiration. Whether it’s a bustling metropolis like Istanbul or the romantic charm of Paris, each map is designed to capture the soul of the city, reflecting its cultural and architectural heritage.
From the winding streets of Barcelona to the art and history-infused landmarks of Rome, our goal is to transform the unique identity of each city into an extraordinary piece of decor. We aim to bring the ever-flowing, ever-changing story of life into your home.
Once a concept is formed, initial patterns are sketched as drafts for planning. We ensure that each map is both aesthetically captivating and technically accurate, staying true to our design philosophy while preserving the story behind the map.
This meticulous approach combines our technical expertise with cultural awareness to create not just decor but a piece that reflects the spirit of the place it represents. Once the design reaches its final form, the process moves to production, where art meets craftsmanship.
Sustainable Materials, Unique Design
The materials used in our custom maps are as important as the design itself. The core of each map is crafted from carefully selected birch plywood, known for its natural elegance, lightweight quality, and durability. For the frame structure, we use ayous or oak wood, depending on the scale of the design.
Ayous wood, with its smooth and lightweight surface, offers a sleek appearance perfect for modern interiors while allowing intricate detailing.
Oak wood, on the other hand, provides depth and character, granting each product a unique identity. Every piece carries traces of the tree’s long history, adding to its charm.
Instead of chemical varnishes, we use natural oils to preserve the organic texture of the wood. This approach ensures long-lasting protection while enhancing the product’s aesthetic appeal, all without compromising on the sustainability of our production process.
Layers of Color
Layering, while staying true to traditional painting techniques, gives each piece a natural and unique appearance.
Instead of conventional brushes used for painting on canvas, we use specialized painting cloths and apply the paint by hand. This meticulous process ensures that each layer is carefully added, allowing the wood to naturally absorb the pigments and creating a harmonious connection between the paint and the natural grain of the wood. This technique preserves the wood’s natural texture while adding depth and vibrancy to the surface, achieving an effect that is difficult to replicate with a brush.
The layering process requires patience and expertise to maintain the visual impact of each piece while staying true to the natural characteristics of the material.
Final Touches
What sets our maps apart is the ability to customize each piece exactly to your liking. On request, we add photos and notes to the back of the map, transforming our products into not just decor, but meaningful keepsakes. This makes them a perfect choice for celebrating life’s milestones, cherished memories, and personal journeys.
Our frames are available in six distinct colors: light oak, hazelnut, walnut, dark walnut, matte black, and green. Each option is carefully selected to complement the natural grain of the wood and ensure that the final product seamlessly integrates with your living space and personal style.
Our Passion for Quality
While much of our production relies on advanced technology to ensure precision and consistency, certain details require the touch of hand craftsmanship. Every cut, every layer of paint, and every final adjustment is meticulously inspected to guarantee the highest quality.
For us, the process is not just about manufacturing; it’s about creating pieces that forge an emotional connection with people.
