What is

The Corded Canvas

A single 3-4km thread woven and weaved between nails, overlapping to form shades of black and grey creating a beautiful string portrait

This is a custom hand-made artwork created on a per order basis

Sizes up to 1.8m.

Showcase

We turn ordinary photos into extraordinary portraits—crafted entirely from a single continuous thread, stretched across hundreds of tiny nails on a circular board. This is string art like you've never seen before.

Each portrait is the result of a custom algorithm that guides the thread to form detailed, lifelike images—no paint, no ink, just pure geometry and craftsmanship. From a distance, it looks like a photo. Up close, it's a mesmerizing web of lines.

These pieces don’t just hang on your wall—they start conversations. Whether it's a personal keepsake or a one-of-a-kind gift, our string art transforms your memories into timeless, handcrafted visuals.

Best displayed on light-colored walls (light grey works great too), the background becomes part of the image—making each piece uniquely yours. Mount it flat or let it float—it’s stunning either way.

Know About Us...

We're a small team of artists and makers who fell in love with a curious question: What if you could draw with string?

What began as a handful of handmade gifts has grown into a full-time passion—creating modern, minimalist portraits using nothing but nails, thread, and a deep appreciation for detail. Inspired by the beauty of geometry and the power of memories, we use a custom-built algorithm to guide a single strand of thread through hundreds of precisely placed nails. The result? A striking image made from nothing but straight lines—simple at first glance, but mesmerizing the closer you look.

Each piece we make is personal. Whether it’s a portrait of a loved one, a pet, or a moment that means something to you, we craft every artwork by hand, turning your photos into meaningful, one-of-a-kind keepsakes.

We're here for the people who love thoughtful design, unexpected materials, and gifts that make people say "Wait... how is that even made?"
