New to our Collection: MAPAO 3D Wall Panels (DESIGNER Series)
New to our Collection for 2025, MAPAO is the latest addition of four distinctive 3D decorative wooden panel designs in the DESIGNER Series range, created in collaboration with recognised artists from around the world of design.
The MAPAO collection is the outcome of a partnership between our friends at FORM AT WOOD and the French design studio SamplesRoom, headed by Thomas Tutolo – a design enthusiast and wood lover, known for his expertise in finding, developing, and launching products that seamlessly fit current design trends.
Merging the finest qualities of French design and meticulous attention to detail with FORM AT WOOD’s unique sensibility and expert craftsmanship has led to the creation of this innovative product line in a fresh new form.
The designers focused on blending woodworking techniques with the spirit of contemporary minimalism, resulting in a collection that embodies both modernity and timelessness, striking a perfect balance between elegance and durability.
Four designs, endless possibilities
The four individual models of wooden panels in the MAPAO (DESIGNER Series) collection (see below) are each distinguished by their unique visual character. The panels have a uniform cross-section and can be used in different lengths, which allows you to create original and creative decorative compositions.
An unquestionable advantage of the MAPAO system is its modularity - the possibility of combining panels both horizontally and vertically gives great design possibilities.
MAPAO Shima
SHIMA is a manifesto against flat, silent walls. Its essence lies in one perfectly executed ridge – the foundation of your composition. You set the rhythm. With four panel lengths, you create your own score, from serene harmony to dynamic asymmetry. See and read more in our Collection.
MAPAO Take
TAKE is a tribute to the quiet power of a wave. Its strength lies in the concave form—soft, flowing, and ever-changing with light. You decide its current. With four panel lengths, you shape the flow of your interior, from calm uniformity to dynamic intersecting waves. See and read more in our Collection and Case Study project below.
MAPAO Yuki
YUKI is a manifesto against randomness in minimalism. Its strength lies in two symmetrical ridges that frame light, shadow, and pure wood. They bring order and rhythm, letting you set the narrative – from raw industrial to refined, modern wainscoting. See and read more in our Collection.
MAPAO Nami
NAMI is a manifesto against two-dimensional thinking. Its strength lies in a sharp, asymmetrical cut that turns a wall into a dynamic landscape. This is not a form that asks for attention – it commands it. You decide the direction, rhythm, and tension, arranging disciplined patterns or bold, artistic compositions.

Case Study
Verga 1947 boutique store in Portofino, Italy
MAPAO Take decorative panelling was recently installed in this fine watchmaking boutique store setting - a textured, natural oak with a minimalist profile that elegantly and discreetly adorns the walls of this iconic address.
Designed to reflect the refined, nautical spirit of the retail space, this installation showcases the wood in all its nobility, in harmony with the ship's-deck parquet and period brick vaults.
