CITY FRAMES

FRAME: Midtown New York, USA

Cityframes FRAME captures the familiar cityscape of Midtown New York in a three-dimensional frame, presenting the textures of streets, buildings, and the city in a scale of 64 × 64 cm. It is suitable for hanging in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or office spaces, or can be placed directly on a cabinet to become an architectural object.

The model was built using Cityframes' proprietary CitySculpt process, based on high-precision 3D city data. The locations, outlines, and details of buildings were then manually adjusted to ensure that the scaled-down city retains clear and easily recognizable layers. The soft white model has a matte, plaster-like texture, creating a quiet yet distinct contrast with the black solid wood frame, allowing light and shadow to fall naturally between the dense streets and buildings.

FRAME is not just a city map, but also a way to preserve local memories. It allows you to keep Midtown New York, where you once lived, traveled, or where it holds special significance, in your everyday space; whether as a home collection, an object commemorating a move or journey, or a gift to someone connected to the city, it allows places and memories to be preserved in a more concrete form.
