Wooden Maps that speak your language — and invite you to travel
We’re a Ukrainian workshop turning real birch plywood into clean, modern wall maps. WOW WOOD started with a simple idea: most wooden maps speak one language; yours might be another. When the names on the wall sound familiar, a map stops being décor and becomes a direction.
About us
What makes us different
We’re not the only makers of wooden world maps. We are the ones expanding languages — on purpose and at pace. We believe travel often starts at home: a glance at the wall, a familiar city name, a quiet idea that turns into dates and tickets. That spark is the reason we build
Emotion & memory
Native toponyms create instant closeness — the map feels yours. It becomes a daily nudge to plan the next trip and relive the last one: kids trace capitals with their fingers, friends argue over routes in the kitchen, and souvenirs finally find a place on the itinerary.
Practical planning
Clear, familiar labels reduce friction. You read a room‑distance map without squinting, recognize spellings at a glance, and actually use the wall to sketch routes. We design for readability (consistent typography, balanced contrast, clean geometry) so the piece is a tool — not just a picture.
Growing coverage
Languages are our product roadmap. We collect requests from customers and partners, prioritize regions, and keep adding versions so more homes, offices, hotels and cafés can speak in their guests’ voices. If your language isn’t here yet, it’s likely on our bench
We write a success story together with you
2022
Brand registered, company founded.
From a year of upheaval we chose a simple promise: let the world on your wall speak your language. We sourced premium birch plywood, refined laser cutting and finishing, and designed packaging and a clear, renter‑friendly mounting kit. The first prototypes taught us one law: if a map is to be loved, it must be understandable — in words and in use.
2023
First sales. DE & EN go live.
We listed our German‑ and English‑language maps and quickly gained traction in Germany, moving into leading positions in the category. Early reviews praised clarity and feel; we iterated instructions, adhesives and small parts so the experience felt effortless. The map stopped being décor and started prompting itineraries.
2024
French & Italian join
With FR and IT, the idea proved itself across borders: when names sound familiar, people plan more boldly and gift more thoughtfully. Our maps appeared in living rooms, offices and cafés; we tightened quality control and elevated packaging so unboxing felt like opening a passport.
2025
Spanish, Polish, Dutch & Swedish.
We expanded to ES, PL, NL, SE — four new ways for walls to start conversations. We opened our global distributor program and focused on travel‑minded venues (hotels, cafés, concept stores). More languages are in development — because every journey deserves to be read in one’s own voice.
The idea is this: you won't find anyone who doesn't love a wooden world map — there are those who haven't seen it in real life in their native language
