Shop Closed

After eleven years on the mapThe Moby Maps shop has closed

For over a decade, Moby Maps turned cork and travel into something you could hang on a wall and add to for years. The workshop has gone quiet for now and the shop is no longer taking orders — but everything we made together is still worth a look.

This isn't a goodbye so much as a long pause. The tools are packed away, not thrown away.

A handful of the pieces that found their way onto walls around the world. More will get pinned up here as we dig through the archive.

To Everyone Who Bought One

To the hundreds of you who pinned your own stories to one of these

Moby Maps was never really about the cork or the frame. It was about giving people a reason to remember where they'd been, and a nudge to keep going. Watching customers send photos of their maps filling up with flags, hung in hallways and offices and first flats, has been the best part of this entire thing.

Thank you for trusting a small, slightly stubborn one-man operation with something that ended up living on your wall for years. It mattered more than you probably know.
