World Political Hexagons centred on 15° East Wall Map 594 x 841mm

A Strikingly Unique Political World Map – Hexagon Design, Centred on 15° East

Break away from traditional map views with the World Political Hexagons Wall Map, a distinctive design that replaces standard landmasses with a mosaic of perfectly aligned hexagons. Using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection centred on 15° East longitude, this map offers a fresh visual interpretation of the world—maintaining accurate land area proportions while preserving a true sense of direction from its central point.

Published in 2016 and meticulously crafted, this is more than a map—it’s a conversation piece, a teaching aid, and a modern work of cartographic art.

🗺️ Why This Map Stands Out

• Unique Hexagon Design: Land areas are represented as tessellated hexagons, creating a bold and contemporary visual style.

• Centred on 15° East Longitude: Offers a view that rebalances the world away from the familiar Atlantic- or Pacific-centred projections.

• Equal-Area Accuracy: The Lambert Azimuthal projection ensures all landmasses retain their correct relative size, giving a true sense of proportion.

• Directional Integrity: Preserves accurate directional relationships from the map’s centre.
