What Makes It Uncommon

A Cut Above

Everyone has a precious place in the world they hold dear. Maybe it's your childhood home or the restaurant where you met your soul mate, or even your favorite team's stadium. Commemorate any locale you love with a 4"x4" mini-map based on the surrounding area.

Inspired by modern architecture and the art of crafting, artist and architect Karen O'Leary will design and hand-cut your custom cartography on sturdy, archival paper (that's the good stuff) based on the address you provide. She'll even add a heart to mark your nostalgic nook. Each map is titled, numbered (1/1, since they're all one of a kind), and signed by Karen, then placed in a gold frame to complete your bespoke bird's-eye view. Made in North Carolina.

"Time is the hidden element in my work."

Although her hand-cut maps are simple in style, they're painstakingly crafted with only a piece of paper and a blade. Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Pennsylvania, Karen O'Leary made her first mini-map during architecture school. Even after receiving her bachelor's degree and working as a project architect, the mini-map idea stuck. When a piece she made sold quickly, her creative studio, which Karen runs herself, was born.

It's perfect!

The quality is excellent and it's a great minimal decor piece. I wish it was a little bigger, but the small size feels charming and understated.

This is really well done. The cuts are flawless and the frame is simple yet substantial in weight. It's evident that a lot of time is spent creating each map.
