Using an Admiralty Chart, the land and sea are layered to show contours and depth in 3D. Each chart is painstakingly hand cut and assembled to form a unique product. The 3D effect enhances the chart and physically illustrates a key attribute of any chart - depth! The end product is presented in a simple neat frame that enhances the 3 D effect

Latitude Kinsale is a family business specialising in unique custom made Nautical chart products. Using original nautical charts we will work with the customer to create a unique bespoke chart whether it is a light chart, a 3D chart or even a table.

The first step is to identify a focal point, that precious location that has memories or is where we live or sail. Latitude Kinsale will research the various charts and chart options available. In most cases we will use the UK Hydrographic office charts, better known as the British Admiralty charts, renowned the word over for their vast database, they are credited with charting vast areas of the globe.

Having identified the focal point we will then work with the customer to determine the size of the chart section. Latitude Kinsale will advise you on the layout and ensure that the end product gives maximum impact such that you and your friends will instantly recognise the location. The framed sizes start at 380mm X 480mm and can be as large as 1000mm X 800mm. As the size increases so too does the impact of the final product.

The process of making a 3D chart requires several charts to make one piece. Latitude Kinsale have developed the skill set to hand cut each and every piece. It takes many hour's and even days of painstaking work to make a 3D chart. Meticulous attention to detail and a lot of patience shows in the final product.

The 3D chart is mounted and framed in a unique way that enhances the 3D effect. We can provide a selection of frames to suit you individual needs. The artist, Bobby Nash, signs each piece.
