About

Topoform was started in 2022 by Royal College of Art graduate Sam Sheckells as the extension of a school project. Since then, we have produced multiple breathtaking topographic tables and wall art pieces along with various custom projects.

We use a multitude of processes and tools, ranging from advanced CNC machining to handmaking. Each project requires a different approach, and we aren’t afraid to try new techniques to achieve the best result for our clients.

Our topographic furniture has become our specialty product. Being able to showcase a special place in a piece of handmade furniture brings us as much joy as it does our clients.

We are based in Baltimore, Maryland and our shop is located in Baltimore County. Almost everything is made by hand from domestic sources.

Services

  • Capture the place that means the world to you in the form of a stunning piece of furniture or wall art. Choose any natural landmark or region on Earth, and using high-resolution terrain data, we can transform it into a digital model and machine it into reality. Once the topography is machined, the rest of the design is handcrafted from quality materials. Our furniture is built to last and tell a story for generations.

  • Whether it’s a new desk, cabinet, table or decorative element for your home or business, we have you covered. We can jump in and help with your project whether you just have a basic idea or already have a completed design.

  • Do you have an idea for the perfect gift or giveaway, or need something fully custom for a prototype or restoration project? We have access to advanced CNC routers and laser engraving machines to deliver one-off and small-batch production runs with ease.

  • While we specialize in furniture, there are some unique jobs that pique our interest. From electronics, to architectural installations, to metalworking, every job is up for consideration. Reach out and we’ll explore it to see if we’d be a good fit.
