About us

The Story Behind Viperys WallArt

We're Viperys — a small family-run studio in Poland, crafting personalized 3D wooden city maps that turn places into heirlooms. Every map you see in our shop is designed, cut, poured, framed and shipped by us — by hand, from start to finish.

Meet the People Behind the Craft

Viperys is Seb and Monika — a two-person family team behind every piece. Seb brings years of hands-on experience with pine and wood construction — he handles the woodwork, the laser cutting, the resin pouring and the frame building. Monika is the artistic soul of the studio — she takes care of design, graphics, personalization details and logistics, making sure every map carries the aesthetic touch that turns a piece of wood into something you want to hang on your wall.

From London to Poland: Our Journey

Our story didn't start in a workshop — it started in London, where Seb and Monika met over a shared love of woodwork and rustic style. When the 2021 pandemic hit and both of them lost their jobs, they turned adversity into opportunity. What began as a hobby — making wooden shelves for friends — quickly became something bigger.

They came back to Poland, invested every zloty of their savings into building a basic workshop, and opened an Etsy store called Viperys Handmade. That store now has 8,000+ happy customers across 40+ countries and a 4.9★ average rating.

Why Viperys WallArt Exists

Our shelf customers kept asking for something more — something personal, artistic, and made with the same attention to craft. That's how Viperys WallArt was born. We took everything we knew about working with wood and combined it with laser precision, real epoxy resin, and full personalization — to create maps that don't just decorate a space, but capture what makes a place meaningful.

How Our Maps Are Made

  • Premium poplar plywood — laser-cut into multiple layers to create true 3D depth
  • Solid Scandinavian pine frame — hand-waxed in six tones
  • Real 3-tone epoxy resin water — poured by hand and cured for 48 hours to a glass finish
  • Engraved parks, green spaces and streets — the detail most makers skip, so your city looks alive instead of empty
  • Custom pin symbol marking the exact coordinate of your special place
  • Hidden engraved dedication on the back — free with every map

Committed to Craft and Sustainability

We work with local Polish sawmills and use solid wood — not particle boards from big box stores. Where possible, we use reclaimed and offcut material. Every knot, grain and inch of timber is treated with the respect it deserves. We build maps to last a lifetime — and back every single one with our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee.
