The ‘Crumpled City’ maps by designer Emanuele Pizzolorusso brandish an unusual take on cartography. Given that many people lament having to fold up geographic charts while on vacation, or when attempting to track down a new spot, Pizzolorusso has responded accordingly by creating these almost indestructible diagrams of city’s like Hamburg, Moscow, Chicago and New York.
The waterproof Crumpled City diagrams can be opened up as quickly as it can be stashed away. Monuments, buildings, galleries and historical sites are also delineated here, allowing users of the sheets to fully explore whichever region they happen to be in. The best part of the concept is the ‘Crumpled City Junior’ product which encourages children to examine some of the world’s most epic metropolitan quarters.
