Wooden relief map of Île de Ré

Île de Ré and the seabed around it, carved in one piece from a solid block of lime wood: La Rochelle, the Pertuis Breton and the Pertuis d'Antioche. From the seabed 61 m deep up to its highest point (19 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 45 times vertically (the island and its seabed are very flat) so it reads at a glance and in raking light. It hangs horizontally, in an A4 oak frame. Machined, engraved and framed in our workshop in Thônes, in the French Alps.
