Athens Nautical 3D Wooden Depth Map
- 9 layers of wood
- detailed water map
Product description
This bathymetric 3D wooden map of Athens is a distinctive layered wall decoration that reveals the water depths, underwater formations, and coastlines of Athens and its surrounding seas through 9 precisely assembled wooden layers.
The map consists of 9 individual layers, carefully stacked to create a highly detailed and realistic bathymetric depth effect. The top layer is always natural wood, finely laser-engraved with detailed coastlines, geographic contours, and surface features. The lower layers are individually painted and stained, becoming progressively darker as the water depth increases, accurately reflecting the changing depths of the sea.
Deeper sea areas are represented by darker tones, while shallower waters remain lighter, making the map not only a decorative piece but also a visual interpretation of the seafloor’s topography. Each of the lower layers is richly detailed, clearly showing underwater terrain and depth contours rather than flat color surfaces.
All 9 layers are aligned with millimeter precision. Every layer is painted before assembly, ensuring a clean, sharp, and professional final result with a strong three-dimensional presence.
