Two New York City software developers with a love for maps have created a unique type of wall art called 'Floating Maps' -- the latest creation from Meridian Maps which includes eye-catching custom-made laser-cut maps carved from solid wood. Mounted and hovering off the wall, they are intricate works of art that create impressive shadows.
The maps are designed in professional mapping software and custom-tailored to include geographical details such as mountains, rivers, lakes, roads, political boundaries and more.
Debuting on Kickstarter, various rewards include a full wall-sized World Map, and maps with backlight LEDs.
The Kickstarter deadline is November 28th, the day after Black Monday.
