Wooden relief map of Oléron Island

Oléron Island and the seabed around it, carved in one piece from a solid block of lime wood: the Pertuis d'Antioche and the Pertuis de Maumusson. From the seabed 49 m deep up to its highest point (35 m), every landform sits where it belongs. A single laser-engraved line draws the shoreline: above it, the land; below it, the sea. The relief is exaggerated 55 times vertically (the island and its seabed are very flat) so it reads at a glance and in raking light. It hangs vertically, in an A4 oak frame. Machined, engraved and framed in our workshop in Thônes, in the French Alps.
