World mapsKilimanjaro, Everest, Mount Fuji, the Dolomites, Santorini… Some of the most loved places, cut from the same block of solid lime wood as our Alpine maps, using open survey data from around the world.
Mountains on their own, or islands with their seabed and laser-engraved shoreline: hover over a map to see it from an angle, click the image for the large render.
These maps are our first prototypes: the images are 3D renders computed from the data credited at the bottom of the page, before production. They are made on request: write to us and we will get back to you with the price and lead time.

Copernicus models for large relief, open national surveys where they exist (TINITALY in Italy, IGN and Shom for Corsica) and EMODnet for European seabeds.
The relief is scaled to the block: compressed for Everest, stretched more than six times for Corsica, so that every map reads at a glance and in raking light.
On islands, a single laser-engraved line separates land from sea, as on our French island maps; the map is then framed in A4.
A climb, a honeymoon, the island where you were born: tell us which. We check that its data exists under a licence that allows selling it, then we suggest a framing.
These maps are prototypes: they aren't in the catalogue yet. Tell us the place you are interested in and we will reply with the price and production lead time.
The same as our mountain maps: a 270 × 180 mm block of lime wood, 55 mm thick, in an A4 frame.
From digital elevation and seabed models published under licences that allow selling derived objects, with credit to their producers: the full list is just below.
Valleys, ridges and coastlines are in their real places. Height, however, is scaled to the block: on an island several hundred kilometres across, true-scale relief would be almost flat.
Data modified: relief resampled to the size of the block, vertically scaled (×0.8 to ×6.6 depending on the map) and smoothed. These maps are decorative objects: they must not be used for navigation. No data producer endorses our products. All our sources: data sources.
