Wooden 3D contour map of Port Phillip Bay

475mm x 475mm x 45mm

White acrylic and sustainably sourced plywood

14 layers pieced together by hand

Unique wood layered contour map of Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay (Victoria, Australia).

Depicting bathymetric data (topography of the water) in stunning detail. Each 1mm layer of the map is made from sustainably sourced plywood and is cut using a high precision laser cutter. One layer represents 2m-3m of water depth. The individual pieces of wood are carefully hand assembled to create the stunning ocean floor.
White acrylic is used for the top layer representing the land. We chose to leave the land without markings to focus the eye and intention beneath the water.
The map is encased with a high quality plexiglass and finished with a white natural hardwood frame so it is ready to hang.

Pangea Maps make the perfect gift or unique addition to any interior.
