When it comes to your narrative, which city and specific area do you want to explore? What message do you want your design to convey? The timeline you choose adds significance to your story. These are the thought-provoking questions we'll discuss during your initial consultation with our design team.
Now, let's dive into the material specifications that align with your vision. You have a range of options influenced by its usage and the environment it will inhabit. Choose from various wood species, each with their own finish coat specifications. Select the type of metal and explore nearly endless possibilities of powder coated color finishes. Your unique selections, combined with our meticulous focus on beauty, strength, and durability, will shape your one-of-a-kind design.

Once we've explored the city and specific area that will be the subject of your narrative, and determined the message your design will convey, our design team will guide you through the concept creation process. We'll present you with a comprehensive proposal for our services and formalize your custom order. And with that, the craftsmanship phase commences, where your vision starts to come to life.
-
As your design takes shape, our team utilizes CAD software to develop detailed conceptual images of your layered maps. These images serve a dual purpose: to ensure both aesthetic appeal and functional considerations are meticulously addressed. This step allows us to fine-tune the design and bring your vision closer to reality.
-
We carefully select map materials specifically for laser precision cutting, catering to designs made from a diverse range of wood species. In the case of metal fabrication, our highly skilled team employs an extremely high-pressure waterjet, guided by CNC software, to meticulously capture the intricate details of each historical layer within your strata. This process ensures that every fine detail is faithfully represented in your design.
-
With utmost care and craftsmanship, our team handcrafts the maps and elemental framing, expertly preparing them to house the captivating strata of history that aligns with your customized narrative. Four layers of meticulously curated maps come together to reflect and tell your unique historical story, transcending any limitations of city, location, or period of time. The possibilities are boundless.

The culmination of our meticulous process lies in the application of the final finishes, precisely tailored to your specific selection. Each detail receives the same unwavering attention and focus that has characterized the entire journey of crafting your bespoke furniture. From start to finish, our commitment to delivering exceptional quality shines through every step of the process.
