Blackboard Map: decorative chalkboard maps

The project

Blackboard Map combines the outline of a map with a chalkboard surface, turning a decorative piece into a canvas for drawings, messages and doodles.

The maps are made from laser-cut MDF, then finished with chalkboard paint. This finish distinguishes the Blackboard Map version within Marine and Surf’s collection: the surface is part of how the piece is used, adding another dimension to its geographical outline.

The black pieces retain the cut-out shapes of the maps while allowing chalk marks to be added across them. The campaign presents this version in use, with drawings and notes layered over the geography, and directs viewers to the brand’s collection.
