The PIN CITY and PIN WORLD Wall Maps are the latest products from Italian company Palomar who continues their map theme that started with the award winning and innovatory Crumpled City™ Maps.

Designed by Emanuele Pizzolorusso and Alessandro Maffioletti and printed on felt, this new collection includes both world maps and a series portraying some of the most important cities.

The imagery on the PIN CITY Wall Maps reveals the energy and density of today’s cities, whereas the continents on the PIN WORLD Wall Maps, including the cities with over 1 million inhabitants, offer a unique and exciting view of a world without borders. The surprising graphic results achieved make the maps ideal for display at home or in the office.

The decision to use felt for the maps is an integral part of the project. Felt is a “warm” material that transmits intimacy. The tactile characteristics of felt transform the static nature of a map – a simple object to be looked at - into something new with which users can interact.
