Madrid Maps: minimalist wall maps

The project

Madrid Maps turns the layout of Madrid into a decorative piece for interiors. The campaign presents minimalist maps manufactured by Archicercle and offered in a range of sizes, materials, lacquer finishes and other finishes.

The piece consists of a network of lines and open spaces, accompanied by the name ‘Madrid’ in script lettering. Presented above a desk, the map forms the centrepiece of a wall arrangement alongside framed prints.

Archicercle’s documented contribution is manufacture using laser cutting and engraving. The campaign offers material and finish options without identifying the composition of each piece presented or specifying where each operation is applied.

The visual presentations range from dark tones to a copper or rust tone, retaining the same linear language. The campaign’s three posts, dated March 2019, announced that the maps would soon be available through Cosastudio’s online shop.

The city’s name, positioned beneath the street layout, completes the map composition.
