In certain spaces, a standard world map simply doesn't suffice. For those fortunate enough to possess expansive homes or offices, the opportunity for grandeur beckons. Today, we delve into the realm of design with an exploration of an exceptional world map crafted from genuine quartz stone. A magnificent piece tailored to its environment with precision.
The journey from raw material to finished masterpiece is a testament to the artistry and dedication involved. Originating from the quarries of North India, large chunks of quartz rock undergo a big transformation. Through a process involving layering with synthetic resin and drying, these rocks are transformed into flexible sheets. Each with 1-5 mm (0.39''- 0.59'') of authentic stone in shades ranging from grey to warm brown, accentuated by glimmers across its surface.
For our featured client, a single massive plate of this quartz stone, measuring nearly 2.5 meters (3,28 ft) in length and 1.5 (4 ft) meters in width, served as the canvas for their vision. The resulting world map stretches almost 2.5 meters in width and nearly 2 (6,65 ft) meters in height—a true statement piece commanding attention and admiration.
Crafting such a monumental artwork requires planning and execution. Alterations to the AutoCAD design ensure precision in the laser cutting process, while adjustments to installation templates account for the substantial weight of the quartz stone. Each step in the process reflects a commitment to quality and a dedication to realising the client's vision on a grand scale.
Through the fusion of natural beauty and expert craftsmanship, this extraordinary quartz stone world map stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of bespoke design. Its presence not only enriches the space it inhabits but also serves as a reminder of the power of art to transcend the ordinary and inspire awe.
As depicted in the photo of the installation template, mounting this quartz stone map is a task best undertaken by two individuals. The sheer size and weight of this unique piece make it a singular addition to any space. Though the lighting may not have been optimal at the time of the photo, the impact of the XL map is undeniable.
Upon entering the hall where it resides, the map commands immediate attention, its presence both striking and captivating.
