When Jen and Omar started looking for a modern and simple world map on which to track their travels and other interesting facts, they were surprised and dismayed at the options they encountered. Glossy posters and cheap antique reproductions being the recurring find, a self-made solution came to mind.
Carefully designed and silkscreened, they produced 50 posters which sold out pretty quickly. And so, a second and more ambitious run was set into motion. Have you been searching for a unique world map for yourself? You can place an order with them and wait a few weeks for it to show up at your door.
