Create your silhouette

The best silhouette of all: yours.

Turn a photograph, a logo or a scene into a piece that exists only once.

Make a personal moment last

The photo of the day you crossed the finish line. Your father's boat. That pet who is no longer by your side. We'll design the silhouette from the image you send us and bring it to life in acrylic, with its oak base and lacquered steel stand.

Not every image works as a silhouette: we'll review yours and get back to you with no commitment and at no cost.

Tell us your idea

How it works

How to turn your photo into a piece of your own.

  1. You write through the contact form and tell us the scene, with the image attached. The bigger and sharper, the better.

  2. We check whether it's possible: if the silhouette won't be understood, we'll tell you and suggest another way to tell the story.

  3. You see the design proposal before it's made. We send you your design to approve, together with the quote.

  4. We add your words, if you want them: text engraved on the base, up to 40 characters on the front and up to 600 on the back.

Which photos work

Two examples, to give you the idea.

A father, a mother and a girl hand in hand, seen from behind and full length, walking across the sand towards the sea

What works

All three whole, standing against the sea: each one cuts out on its own, with no background touching the outline.
  • The whole figure, nothing in front of it.
  • A profile or a pose you’d know anywhere.
  • A light background, well clear of the subject.
  • The original photo, not a screenshot.
A black dog against a black background, its outline lost in the shadow

What gets tricky

The dog is black and so is the background: the outline disappears into the dark and, cut out in black, there would be nothing left to recognise.
  • Tight groups: they merge into a single block.
  • Backgrounds with things touching the subject and eating into the outline.
  • Small or heavily compressed photos from a messaging app.
  • Scenes that only work through colour or a face.

If you’re unsure, send it anyway: we’ll look at it and tell you if it works, no obligation.

Tell us the scene

Send us the photo and what you want it to say. We’ll come back and tell you if it can be done, how it would look and what it would cost.

* Bespoke pieces take longer than catalogue ones. If it’s for a particular date, tell us early.

The front of a personalised piece: the Mont Saint-Michel silhouette cut out in black and, on the base, the dedication “This is where it all began. Happy anniversary!”

The perfect gift

A perfect gift shouldn’t just be beautiful. It should look like the person you’re giving it to: their identity, their character, who they are.

Just want to add your own text?Pick a piece from the collections

If your scene is already in the catalogue there’s no photo and no study to do: pick the piece and we engrave your words on the base. Up to 40 characters on the front, up to 600 on the back.
