Unique Properties
CityWood is a wooden map artwork. City streets, water and landscape are represented by separate wooden layers. Each layer is precisely cut using laser technology. It is a three dimensional design that combines modern technology (laser cutting, GIS, OSM Data) with the beauty of wood and craftsmanship.

Production Technology
The design is a multilayered city pattern object framed in wooden frame. Each layer of polished fine quality plywood is cut using laser technology.
Design Challenge
The final design is a product of a long battle between wood and city pattern. To find this unique proportion of width and depth of the each street, many prototypes were created. The color of the wood of each layer makes the whole design readable and visible as a city map.
Research
The map itself is a beauty. I wanted to transfer it to a three dimensional object. My long study of maps and GIS technology made it possible to acquire a current maps of the cities. Using laser technology I was able to create a layered model of a city. Wood is a uniquely patterned natural material and it was chosen for this design. It gives an additional rare value for each work.
Inspiration
Inspired by a actual city the project shows a city space as a 3d object. Thin yet very complex street pattern, cut in wood layers looks like minimalist modern abstract art.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2017 in Warsaw, Poland.
Operation Flow
The wood art depending on its size can hang or stand on the desk. Whether in the living room, dining room or office space.
