World Future Map by The Future Mapping Company

A striking and contemporary top-quality world wall map.These maps utilise a cylindrical equal area projection (Don't switch off!) This 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.

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: 1015 x 575mm

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.

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 two magnetic strips that run along the top and bottom of the map. Supplied with the map are a dozen magnetic dots, and three 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.

Framed & Magnetised: Supplied with the map are a dozen magnetic dots, to mark places of interest, and three stronger magnetic pins, allowing you to use your map as a notice board. The surface has a write-on/wipe-off finish on which non-permanent or dry-wipe pens may be used.
