More information

After a few requests, we have proudly taken a step forward to create something truly exceptional: the world's first stylish golden world map. Is it too extravagant? Not at all! This masterpiece of wall décor is crafted from multiple layers, giving the impression of authentic gold. Even up close, one might mistake it for genuine gold.

You might assume that such a map would be quite heavy, and you'd be correct. This is largely due to the top layer crafted from real stone, bonded and pressed onto a sturdy wooden base. Following the cutting of the world map, each piece undergoes multiple applications of a golden finish via airbrushing. To add an extra touch, we use our CO2 laser to engrave the country borders on the golden map. In this short film, you can witness the mesmerising process of the laser outlining these borders (please note: the film was captured behind safety/filtered glass, hence the slight paleness of the gold).

The result is nothing short of breathtaking! Once we receive examples from our first clients, we will proudly display them on our website.

Technique

In making this MapaWall golden world map, we've perfected a highly efficient laser cutting method using state-of-the-art CO2 laser technology. This approach preserves the integrity of the stone while etching intricate, precise outlines. The slate stone has natural variations in height. It is this layered stone that gives the map that massive look. And because the surface features varying elevations, the golden finish sparkles from all angles when light is shines on the surface.
