A lasting memory
We all cherish the memories of our favorite places. Sometimes, a handmade painting with a maritime motif reminds us of our favorite beach. Nothing, however, quite captures the feeling of a city like its map does. Maps display a city’s organs, meaning its main points of interests, outskirts and all that comes in between. When you are in a place for the first time, a map puts everything new to you into perspective, serving as a companion in your city adventure. When you’ve been in a place long enough though, its map begins become ingrained into your mind, crossing the boundary between a place being foreign to becoming a part of you. So when you hang up a handmade city map poster from KunstLoft, you are often hanging up a piece of yourself. Every time you look at the poster, you will be filled with a flood of emotions for all that you associate with the city.
Adaptable application
One of the beauties of our city map posters is their minimalist outline design, meaning you can examine them to the finest detail. With these maps, point out precisely where you went and let the memories start to flow back. You won’t be limited to hanging them up in any one place, either. In the living room, they can be used to show guests what places are closest to your heart, bringing up your favorite past stories and experiences you had there. In the office, maps are more likely to be used to express a firm’s pride in where it operates. Perhaps you just want to express a desire to go to a place you’ve never been before. Whatever your reasons, a city map will certainly fill the gap in your decor, and fulfil your desire to have an artwork dedicated to a city you love.
Time to experiment
City maps are a strong presence on their own accord. They can achieve an even bigger impact when contributing to an overall style you want to achieve:
With cooler colours, express the serenity you associate with the city
With warmer colours, reflect your passion and excitement for the capital
Combine a city map with a landmark or world map to add scope or detail to what you love
Experiment with different styles and pieces to discover what environment you want to create. Use a handcrafted city map poster as your starting point!
