ABOUT CONTOUR LAYER
Maps have depth.
We make it visible.
From a simple question, a workshop for custom-made urban objects was born. Here is our story.
THE BEGINNING
It started with a simple question.
How do you gift someone a place?
Not as a print. Not as a poster. But as an object that makes the story of the place tangible — not just represented. We searched for a long time for something like this. It didn't exist.
So we built it ourselves.
THE WORKSHOP
Born in Heidelberg
We are not a studio with a marketing department. We are two brothers, one workshop, one standard.
Every object is created here – from the first topographical calculation to the final sanding of the frame. We don't mass-produce. Each piece begins with someone sending us a place that matters.
WHAT SETS US APART
Three things you feel.
Real Depth
You don't just see lines. You see elevation, flow, progression — as a precise 3D relief, not as a print.
Solid wood frame
Oiled real wood — no veneer, no film. A frame that ages with the room and lasts for years.
Made to order
Nothing is in stock. Each object is produced because someone wants it exactly that way. No two pieces are alike.
OUR PROMISE
What leaves here stays.
We don't create wall art for a fleeting moment. Each of our pieces is created with the vision of enduring through time—supported by timeless aesthetics and exquisite quality.
In this way, we give the place you have chosen a lasting soul. An elegant anchor point, even as the world around it changes.
HOW WE WORK
From Location to Object.
Configure
You choose the location, format, material, and frame. We calculate the relief from real geographic data.
Manufacture
Production, rework, frame construction — all under one roof. Every piece is inspected before shipping.
Send
Packaging is part of the object — not just as protection, but as a first impression. Delivered to you in just a few business days.
YOUR LOCATION
Take the first step.
Choose a location. View it as an object. Then decide.
