Ninska Designs is a project inspired by our sister shop @ninskaprints which sells original antique maps and prints. Here at Ninskadesigns we make reproductions of some of the best prints we come across and redesign them to bring colour to the originals and accentuate the most interesting motifs, creating unique wall art prints. We hope you enjoy our products as much as we enjoyed creating them.
