WOW! Handmade 3D Architectural Models by Chisel & Mouse
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Chisel & Mouse has four different categories of products: model buildings, cityscapes, poparc and limited edition models. Each piece is handmade, signed and dated.
1) MODEL BUILDINGS
These architectural sculptures for the home are inspired by iconic architecture from around the world.
In this range, you will find iconic buildings such as:
- Helsinki Central Station, Eliel Saarinen, 1914 (Finland)
- Pantheon, 126 AD (Italy)
- Bauhaus Dessau, Walter Gropius, 1925 (Germany)
- Hillhouse, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, 1904 (Scotland)
- Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut, Le Corbusier, 1955 (France)
- Moller House, Adolf Loos, 1928 (Austria)
Some of the popular UK-models include Battersea Power Station, the Glasgow School of Art and the Oxo Tower. There are also limited edition sculptures from icons in London available, such as Kensington Palace, as well as miniatures, such as the Arsenal Stadium.
As I mentioned, in their back catalog you can find Centre Point tower in London, but also Somerset House and the Whitechapel Art Gallery, among others.
2) CITYSCAPES
Based on data accurate to the nearest metre, these 3D maps show the fascinating layout and development of cities. Handmade to order, these precise, signed and dated sculptures can be hung on a wall or placed on a table or desk.
You can choose from a wide variety of cities at various scales, some with metal etched waterways. Their blue river series add a splash of colour to the model and their terrainscape series (for example of Mont Blanc in France) are another unique piece of art.
Each model measures 30 x 30 cm (11.8 x 11.8 inch) and encapsulate an area of 1.5 x 1.5 km. They get delivered complete with a removable acrylic cover.
There are also large cityscapes available at 70 x 70 cm (27.6 x 27.6 inch), produced in resin and delivered in a wooden frame.
How about a cityscape of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dallas, Florence, Las Vegas, Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome, Singapore, Stockholm, Utrecht, Venice, Washington DC or Zurich?
3) POPARC
These A4-sized wall hangings feature a plaster frame and are backed with your choice of seven vibrant colours.
You can choose from several buildings from Brutalist Britain and some some of London’s most iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, Centre Point, Westminster Abbey and Oxo Tower.
4) LIMITED EDITION + BESPOKE
There are a number of limited edition handmade models and miniature minis available from the website.
Chisel & Mouse also has a bespoke service, which is the perfect solution for people who are looking for architectural models of a specific building, a private residence or a much loved city.
They can work from satellite data, architect’s drawings, photos and sketches.
