— August 28, 2014 — Art & Design
These topographic design examples range from oceanic furniture pieces to handmade carpet textiles that are modeled after natural landscapes. Looking to nature for their visual inspiration, these stunning finds are all about mimicking mountains, hills and other organic landscapes into practical products.

Favorites from this list of topographic design examples include include soup plates that are modeled after a mountain peak. This stunning dishware concept is not only a decorative accent piece or outdoorsy gift idea but is also practical for any mealtime occasion.

Another standout from the list includes 'Ciudad Domestica', a topography-inspired furniture collection by Javier Pena Ibanez. The Madrid-based architect was inspired by urban landscapes, map imagery and bird's eye views of cities when creating this innovative furniture collection.
