The same map, in one tone

Artlas makes layered wooden world maps. Each map is laser cut from birch ply, UV printed, hand finished, and boxed flat.

This one is finished entirely in the birch tone. The layers are still 4, 8 and 12 mm, so the relief is unchanged — but with the colour taken out, what separates one country from the next is depth and the shadow it throws. The map reads quieter, and it changes far more through the day, because shadow is the only thing doing the work.

Birch is the palest of the three tones: a light, even, almost blonde surface with a fine grain. On a dark or a strongly coloured wall it lifts away sharply. On a white wall it sits soft and close.

There is no frame and no glass. Each continent mounts flat to the wall on its own, so the map takes the shape of your wall instead of a rectangle.

One tone, three depths. Birch ply in the birch tone at 4, 8 and 12 mm. Landmasses are spread across all three.

Real coastlines. Bays, inlets and small islands are cut as they are, instead of being smoothed into shapes that are easier to produce.

Cut to 0.01 mm. Laser precision, hand-finished edges, joins you cannot feel.

Names printed on the wood. Wayfarer is continents only, with no names. Navigator carries country names and international borders. Odyssey adds state names and capital cities. All names are UV printed straight onto the surface — not stickers, not engraving.

Drawn from real cartography. Built on Natural Earth’s 1:10m dataset — the reference set professional map-makers work from.
