Some spaces are perfectly suited for showing a world map in a unique manner, such as the stainless steel world map depicted in the attached photo. This particular map, installed in Houston, Texas, immediately got our attention. It adorns the front desk of a really spacious room, its presence on the wall igniting the imagination.
The world map installed in this office building in the U.S. seamlessly integrates into its surroundings. Positioned behind the front desk, the map complements the corporate ambiance of the space. The wall, serving as both a room divider and a focal point, stands out with its unique relief and structure.
What truly sets this stainless steel world map apart is its magnetic properties. Because of that it not only adheres to the room divider effortlessly, but it also attracts magnets to its surface. In the case of this Houston-based company, they've utilised this feature to display branches with magnetic tags, as depicted in the accompanying photo below.
Beyond the striking space divider and overall layout, there are additional elements that contribute to the uniqueness of this setup. A standout feature is the innovative paint job surrounding the installed map—an ingenious creation by the interior designer. Unlike anything we've seen before, the designer chose for a distinctive portrayal of the adjacent seas. Light blue hues delicately brush the coastal waters around continents and islands, transitioning to a deeper, darker blue further into the sea.
This design not only provides a realistic image of the ocean but also enhances the illusion of backlighting behind the steel pieces. Unlike the flashy, toy-like illuminated wooden maps often seen, this presentation radiates class and subtlety. All credits to the designer for elevating the appeal of our stainless steel world map even further!
