{"product_id":"carte-du-monde-en-bois-2d-foncee","title":"2D Wooden World Map Dark","description":"\u003ch3\u003eOne warm brown, and a white wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDark is a single tone throughout: the colour of oak, warm rather than black, the same on every piece from Greenland to Antarctica. Cut from one 4 mm sheet, it lies flat against the wall, and against white, cream or pale grey it gives the strongest contrast of our flat maps, reading from the far side of a room without needing light on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a dark wall it does the opposite and disappears. Of the three flat finishes this is the one that most depends on where it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe only world map that starts at XS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e60 × 40 cm, and no other finish or format offers it. That size fits a hallway, a stairwell, the wall beside a door or the space above a desk, places where a metre of map would take over. From there it runs through S and M to L at 150 × 100 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlat, and what that means for the room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4 mm the map projects almost nothing. In a corridor or beside a doorway, where people pass close and a raised map would eventually be caught by a shoulder or a coat, that matters more than relief would. It is also lighter to handle on the day it goes up than the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/3d-wooden-world-map-dark\"\u003erelief version\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe map comes with a set of small wooden figures to place where you like: the Statue of Liberty on the American coast and Christ the Redeemer on Brazil, the Eiffel Tower on Paris, the pyramids on Egypt, the Taj Mahal on India, a pagoda on China, the Sydney Opera House on Australia, an elephant on Africa, a penguin on Antarctica, and for the oceans a ship, a plane, a whale, an anchor and a compass. On a single-tone map they are what gives the eye somewhere to land, and children find them before they find the countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngraving on a brown ground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCountry names, borders, capitals and major cities, US states, Canadian provinces and Australian states are engraved individually. On this finish the lettering is a shade darker than the wood around it: clear when you stand in front of the map, quiet from across the room, which is the trade of a single-tone finish. Add push pins and it becomes a record of where you have been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEnglish or French\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same map is engraved with all its lettering in either language, chosen above: country names, capitals, ocean names, states and provinces. Everything else is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it ages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA uniform stain hides gradual change well, so the map looks the same age throughout as the wood warms over years. Direct sun is the exception: it changes the exposed side and not the shaded one, and on a single tone the line between them shows. Keep it off a wall that takes afternoon sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDark or Multicolor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDark is one tone and asks for a pale wall. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/2d-multicolor-wooden-world-map\"\u003eMulticolor\u003c\/a\u003e runs four tones from cream to walnut and holds on almost any wall, at the cost of being the busier object. If the wall is white and you want the map to read as one calm shape, this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne honest limitation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA decorative object rather than a cartographic instrument. Small countries and island groups are simplified or omitted at this scale, and coastlines are smoothed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"XS (60*40 cm) \/ French","offer_id":47256690950275,"sku":"CM059","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS (60*40 cm) \/ English","offer_id":47256690983043,"sku":"CM063","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S (80*55 cm) \/ French","offer_id":47256690917507,"sku":"CM007","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S (80*55 cm) \/ English","offer_id":47256690819203,"sku":"CM014","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M (100*70 cm) \/ French","offer_id":47256690884739,"sku":"CM008","price":94.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M (100*70 cm) \/ English","offer_id":47256690786435,"sku":"CM015","price":94.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L (150*100 cm) \/ French","offer_id":47256690851971,"sku":"CM012","price":136.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L (150*100 cm) \/ English","offer_id":47256690753667,"sku":"CM018","price":136.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/L-6_f235d92a-7b0e-4de7-a15e-414289007e55.jpg?v=1780866702","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/en\/products\/2d-wooden-world-map-dark","provider":"Creatifwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
