“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”

The Story Behind the Print
Godtfred Kirk Christiansen’s U.S. Patent 3,005,282, granted October 24, 1961, describes a “Toy Building Brick” whose projections and internal coupling features create a secure, repeatable connection between pieces. The design translated an elegantly simple geometry into an open-ended construction system.
Exploded views, sections, and underside details give the sheet a clean mid-century technical rhythm. This restored edition keeps the patent arrangement and black drafting lines intact while placing them on a cool old-page texture with a restrained black border.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A playful but precise choice for design studios, children’s spaces, workshops, and collections of modern invention.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!”
“I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!”
