Guides & Help

Q: PRODUCT & DESIGN

What are the dimensions? The dimensions vary by size, with detailed measurements provided on each product page. What materials are used for the production of the models? Our models are made of a biodegradable plastic based on natural corn starch. The material has a matte, slightly rough finish resulting in a plaster-like surface. The frame is made from solid, black painted wood and includes a wall mounting bracket. Are all cities in the same scale? The scale varies from city to city. Choosing different scales for each city ensures that all cities are compatible with each other. For example, with our adjusted scales, you can place Venice, known for its small alleys, right next to Dubai, home to the world's tallest skyscraper. Do the models align with true north? Yes, our models are oriented to true north, ensuring geographical accuracy and a true-to-life representation of each city. Each frame comes with a mounting bracket to assist you with orienting the city. How can I hang the Frame on the wall? Each frame is delivered with an integrated wall mounting bracket that allows for an easy wall installation. Frames in size WIDE are equipped with 2 wall mounting brackets. The frames can be mounted both vertically and horizontally.
