Yes! We have a small range of Grab-and-Go frames. Available in store for our Wanaka, Queenstown or Central Otago regulars looking for something in a pinch.

No, we cut all glass by hand and don’t currently have the space / set up to be catering to this. We can recommend some local interior design stores or glass suppliers who may be able to assist.
-
No. All our maps are a vinyl prints, mounted onto panels that we cut and then frame. The panels are a aluminimum composite material and can have sharp edges. The framing covers / protects this, and is also what we attach the hanging hardware to that allows you to hang your finished map on the wall.
