About Map Project Office

As our lives become ever more complex, ever more confusing, the products we use every day need to simplify our lives; be more useful, intuitive and beautiful.

Map is a design studio that crafts physical products for the digital age. Bridging the gap between people and technology, the real world and the virtual. From a bioplastic spork to the most advanced quantum computer. 

The studio brings together the world’s best designers and makers, researchers and strategists; working seamlessly with clients to find new solutions to their toughest challenges and acting as a trusted partner to start-up innovators and the world's leading companies alike. 

Working from its London home, since growing out of the award-winning design studio Barber Osgerby in 2012, Map is now part of an international collective spanning architecture to digital design.
