In the palm of your hand
Miniature places
Reduced to bare form, without colour, scent, or texture, each model holds back just enough to leave room for your own thoughts, memories, and imagination.
We lovingly call each one a miniSTAN — from mini, for its palm-sized scale, and stan, a colloquial Swedish word for the city. Each is a 3D-printed relief of a real place, formed from open terrain and building data.
