Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is built on fourteen islands — and its map shows it. The city is inseparable from its water: the Baltic Sea, Lake Mälaren, and the archipelago that surrounds it create one of the most dramatic urban geographies in Northern Europe.

This laser-cut mini map captures what makes Stockholm's layout so extraordinary: the islands, the waterways between them, and the city fabric spread across a geography that most cities could only dream of. Cut from two layers of hand-sanded Baltic birch plywood with a vibrant blue painted base, the blue base layer does particular justice to a city defined by water.

For the Scandinavian at heart, the design lover, and anyone who's stood on Gamla Stan and understood exactly why people never want to leave. Need a larger size or a framed version? We make these by hand — reach out before ordering.
