CITY FRAMES

GRAND London, UK

Cityframes GRAND London, UK, transforms the relationship between the buildings, streets, and waterways of central London into a large-scale 3D printed city model. The wide 129 × 79 cm format clearly displays the dense urban textures and varying building heights; it can be wall-mounted in living rooms, studies, offices, and reception areas, or laid flat on a table or display platform, becoming a quiet yet scaled urban landscape within the space.

Each GRAND is built using Cityframes' proprietary CitySculpt process, combining satellite 3D data, spatial data, and manual adjustments to re-establish building locations and identify details, ensuring that the scaled-down London city model retains a clear and consistent structure. The model is made from a biodegradable material with a corn base, featuring a soft matte finish and a plaster-like texture; paired with a solid wood frame and selectable water background colors, the building silhouettes naturally emerge as light and shadow play across the landscape.

London City GRAND pieces can be wall-mounted horizontally or vertically, or displayed flat, depending on the space. Each piece is made to order and is engraved with a unique number, production month, and signature. Larger architectural pieces are secured with magnetic closures to maintain accurate positioning and can be disassembled and replaced as needed. It transforms the urban fabric of London into three-dimensional design objects that can be viewed for extended periods, making them suitable as part of travel memories, living experiences, or architectural collections.
