FUTURE MAPPING - WORLD FUTURE MAP

BY THE FUTURE MAPPING COMPANY

product information

A striking and contemporary top-quality world wall map.

These maps utilise a cylindrical equal area projection (Don't switch off!) which represents countries in their correct proportional size, something that a lot of maps do not do. It achieves this by sacrificing shape, particularly in the areas closest to the poles. The result is an alternative and thought-provoking vision of our planet.

At 200x100cm this is the biggest single sheet size available in The World!

This scale, combined with our high-quality print and finish will create a big impact in any interior setting.

Colour: Colour is graded through countries and continents to remove the abrupt border lines of more traditional designs.

Printing: The map is litho-printed on to a coated, silk finish paper with special colours, including silver metallic for the seas. The print is finished with a sealer to protect the inks and a gloss UV varnish applied to the landmasses for contrast.

Details: Country boundaries, capital and major cities, rivers, highest peaks, sea depths, north/south pole projections and a shaded physical relief layer.

Scale: 1:20,000,000 (approximately) Paper dimensions: 196x100cm

Available Formats

Paper Tubed: The map comes as an art-quality print, ready for framing or pinning/tacking to a wall. Colour Maps have distinctive packaging that both presents and protects.

Plastic Tubed: We encapsulate this map in a gloss plastic, to give a durable write-on/wipe-off finish.

Magnetised Tubed: The map is encapsulated in plastic, as above, then mounted onto flexible sheet metal, to give a safe, durable, write-on/wipe-off surface to which magnets will cling. It is easily fixed to the wall using magnetic strips that run around the outside of the map. Supplied with the map are a 50 magnetic dots, and 10 stronger magnetic pins.

Framed: We frame our maps without glass, allowing the quality of the print to remain. The metallic nature of the seas and the gloss-varnished landmasses add great surface finishes to the map which light plays off well. The maps are all printed with a sealer that protects the inks, allowing your map to be gently wiped down with a cloth.
