Crumpled Maps

Time spent folding a map according to the original folds is a luxury that thirsty tourists cannot afford. Wouldn't it be easier to simply roll the map into a ball and put it in your pocket? That was the conclusion reached by Emanuele Pizzolorusso, who works for the Palomar brand and is the designer of the Crumpled Map. His map takes just two seconds to unfold and fold, thanks to a lightning-fast crumple-and-unroll technique, and its material, Dupont Tyvek, is extremely durable and 100% waterproof. The original graphics and pleasant-to-touch material are the features that have earned the Crumpled Map design awards such as the XXIII Compasso D'Oro ADI Award Honorable Mention, the Design Plus Award 2012 and the European Consumer Choice Award. The collection includes both city maps - capital cities, but also the most important or largest cities from all over the world - as well as versions of maps for the youngest tourists or maps of the sky. Caution - crush before use!
