Map Rugs for Home & Classroom

A few months back, I blogged about a relief map rug. Here's another map rug from World Maps Online:



These map rugs appear to be designed with the classroom in mind. In fact, the rug depicted above is actually a large game board for use with the STOPS Geography Trivia Game.

However, I think this Earthworks Rug would make a nice addition to a family room. I would enjoy having it in my home.

Relief Map Rug

"The Carpet is constructed from many little 'foam-bars' in different colours and heights. Together these 'foam-bars' show an image of a landscape in color and a relief in height."

Dutch company, Studio Laurens van Wieringen, offers a map you can walk on. With your barefeet you can even discern elevation!

Thanks for Boing Boing for bringing this one to my attention.
