A handcrafted 3D map of London’s streets and the River Thames
A handcrafted wooden map of London, inspired by the city’s iconic layout and the winding path of the River Thames.
Multiple layers of precision laser-cut wood are carefully assembled to create depth, bringing together roads, waterways, and the structure of the city into a refined piece of wall art.
To highlight one of London’s defining features — the River Thames — this piece uses a layered water finish, contrasting with the surrounding city to create a calm visual balance. The natural wood grain remains visible throughout, adding warmth and texture to the design.
Major roads are represented in a subtle grey, while surrounding streets and areas are finely engraved, creating a detailed yet uncluttered composition.
This piece works beautifully as a reminder of time spent in London, a meaningful place, or as a thoughtful gift.

- 3D layered representation of London’s urban layout
