CITY FRAMES

GRAND Paris, France

Cityframes GRAND Paris, France, transforms the relationship between Paris's architecture, streets, and waterways into a large-scale 3D printed city model. The wide 129 × 79 cm format clearly displays the city's textures and the varying heights of its buildings; 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 Parisian cityscape 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 Paris city model retains a clear and consistent structure. The model is made from a biodegradable corn-based material with a soft matte finish and a plaster-like texture; paired with a solid wood frame and selectable water background colors, the silhouettes of Parisian buildings naturally emerge between light and shadow.

Paris 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 Paris 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.
