LÁST MAPS X WINGBACK
Here we reveal our latest limited edition artist collaboration, a tribute to cartographers of old and the explorer in each of us.
POLAR EXPLORER
The vast majority of Lást Maps’ work is inspired by the natural world – and adventures through it.
“Maps have a real power to capture the imagination and lend themselves perfectly for telling these stories,” Thomas continues, pointing to an array of intricate, hand drawn maps around their studio that master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkien himself would be proud of.
“A big part of our work is also about raising awareness for the wildlife we share these spaces with, and inspiring people to step outside.”
For this limited edition collaboration, Lást Maps have depicted the north and south poles, adapted from their Mini Map Trio artwork that can also be ordered as an A3 print from the Wingback Shop.
“This elegant collection of mini maps is a tribute to the decorative spheres that used to feature on old world maps,” Thomas explains.
“We wanted to feature the two poles together. It doesn't get much more extreme than these parts of the world, and just looking at maps of the far reaches of the planet inspires grand plans for your next adventure.”
Polar Explorer is also a tribute to map makers of times gone by, explorers who set out to navigate the poles, risking everything to further human discovery.
“This artwork, and the beautiful items it has been engraved on, should speak to the explorer in each of us,” says Thomas.
“We hope they will join you on your next journey, whether wild or urban, into the known or unknown, and serve as both a travel companion, tool for reflection and something that will inspire your next adventure.”
