Start Your Voyage
Life is full of precious moments we sometimes forget. A picture can capture a memory but a 3D or light chart can capture the location of that memory, thereby allowing us to display it in a unique way that gives it pride of place in our living space.
The Perfect Nautical Gift
Using any Nautical Chart, the coastline and seabed are layered to show contours and depth in three dimensions. Each 3D Nautical Chart™ is painstakingly hand-cut and assembled to create a truly unique piece of art.
The 3D effect enhances the nautical chart and physically illustrates a key attribute of any chart – depth! The framing and presentation has been carefully designed to maximize the 3D effect. Surround lighting built into the frame enhances the relief and is a key feature in any setting whether at home or on a boat.
Any chart anywhere in the world!
3D Nautical Charts
Using Nautical charts of your selected coastline, we create a relief 3D chart showing the various depths and coastline contours. Beautifully framed, the chart is transformed into a timeless piece of art.

Storyboards
The tapestry of life tells a unique story. Our storyboard charts allow the opportunity to combine multiple chart locations within one frame. Each location is displayed in a separate aperture. Each picture tells a story. What is your story?
Light Charts
Adding a new dimension to charts, the lighthouses & navigation lights flash to the correct sequence & colour. A micro controller and unique optical system illuminate the chart lighthouses accurately.

It has proved to be a great talking point, flashing away on my kitchen wall for some years now”. Jeremy Greene, Perth, Western Australia Read More
Order From The Other Size Of The World
“Maria contacted me having seen a documentary about my work on a TV programme in New Zealand. So the immediate challenge is to demonstrate that I can deliver what Maria wants: A 3D chart of Preservation Inlet in SW NZ on the South Island.
