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.
