The Map

Turn a meaningful city or place into handcrafted wooden wall art.

This Custom City Map is made to order and designed around a location that matters to you — a home city, travel destination, neighbourhood, business, hotel, or special place. Each map is precision laser-cut from natural wood, layered by hand, and framed in Japan to create a detailed, architectural-style artwork.

Unlike generic city maps, this piece is designed specifically for your chosen location and focus area. You are not limited to a predefined layout — the map can be centred exactly where it matters most to you.

What makes this map different

  • Designed around your chosen location, not a fixed template
  • Custom-centred on a specific area, street, business, or landmark
  • Optional location pins to highlight key places
  • Neighbourhood names or labels can be added on request

How it works

  1. Place your order
  2. Enter the name of the city or place in the personalisation fields
  3. Recommended: upload a screenshot from Google Maps showing the exact area you would like featured — this helps speed up the design process and ensures the map is centred exactly as you intend
  4. I’ll prepare a visual mock-up for your approval before production begins

If you’re not sure how to choose the area, don’t worry — I’m happy to help and make recommendations.

Map details

Each map is created using layered wood construction and may include:

  • Road and street networks, scaled to suit the chosen area
  • Water features such as rivers, canals, coastline, or lakes
  • Key neighbourhood names or landmarks
  • Location pins to mark special places

Note: The level of detail naturally depends on the scale and frame size. Larger areas provide a broader overview; smaller areas allow for finer detail and closer focus.


Product information

  • Handcrafted from natural wood
  • Precision laser-cut and assembled by hand
  • Each map is unique due to natural wood grain and finish
  • Made to order in Japan
  • Frame colours: Black or White
  • Location pins included

Every piece is individually made, and slight variations in wood grain and tone are part of what makes your map one of a kind.

If you have a specific idea in mind — a business location, hotel, hometown, or meaningful place — feel free to include details with your order. I’m always happy to help bring it to life.
