Formed from the remnants of two ancient volcanoes, Banks Peninsula is one of the South Island’s most distinctive coastal features. With its twin harbours — Lyttelton and Akaroa — carved into dormant craters, and a marine reserve protecting the endangered Hector’s dolphin, this handcrafted wooden map captures the region’s dramatic natural history and deep coastal connection.
Designed and built in New Zealand, each layer is precision laser-cut from European Birch plywood, then hand-painted and assembled to highlight the unique geography and bathymetry of the peninsula in stunning relief.
