Next level illuminated map

Are you in search of a world wall map that truly stands out, with cost being of secondary concern? Then this exquisite piece of wall decoration might pique your interest. While we previously delved into the stone map crafted from authentic Grigio Orobico marble, today's spotlight is on a similar model with an additional feature: the illuminated stone world map, a marble world map with stunning backlighting.

Diffused lighting through tempered glass

As detailed in one of our earlier posts, the stone world map is carefully cut using water-jet technology and reinforced with tempered glass on its rear surface. This glass not only fortifies the map and safeguards the delicate marble from damage but also serves another purpose. It allows light to pass through.

By affixing LED lights behind the overlapping panel and positioning the marble map with the glass backing over them, a breathtaking diffused backlight is achieved. A glimpse of the short clip below will likely conjure images of the striking spectacle that an illuminated stone world map could bring to your wall.

Shipping and installing

Undoubtedly, this impressive world map with backlighting commands a slightly higher price compared to its non-illuminated marble counterpart. However, the increase in price is not as significant as the impact of shipping has on the price. Due to the inclusion of an oversized panel housing the concealed backlighting, the shipping package dimensions are contingent upon the size of this panel. Consequently, larger package dimensions incur higher shipping costs, often necessitating transportation via pallets or wooden crates, which substantially affects the overall price.

On a positive note, the map's integration onto a single panel housing the backlighting means it can be installed as a unified piece, sparing the need for individual installation of continents and islands. Nevertheless, the total weight of this illuminated marble world map exceeds the feasibility of self-installation due to its substantial heft. While the installation process is straightforward, it is undoubtedly a two-person job owing to the weight involved.
