Tell a Story About a City You Love
Maps aren’t only visually pleasing, they’re a tactile representation of our surroundings and memories. Designer and self-confessed “cartophile”, Hubert Roguski wanted to turn maps into something more elevated and reshape the way we think about them. In 2017, Roguski created CityWood as a personal project, and began creating custom made 3D map art. Minimal and elegant, CityWood’s maps combine data, technology and creativity to craft meticulous wooden reproductions. Using sheets of high-quality plywood that are only 3/32-inch (3mm) thick, Roguski composes different layers depicting roads, landscape and waters. Each is then separately cut, using 3D laser technology, to 1/100 of a millimeter precision. The layers are then sanded and assembled by Roguski himself. The artwork is varnished for durability and customized, options include a clear coating, black stain, walnut or mahogany. Not enough" Add indigo blue to the waters, a red heart over a meaningful location ? no request is off limits, including the size and scale. Lastly, the wall art is professionally framed and protected with high quality plexiglass for preservation...
