Giveaway: The Modern World Map That Started a Business
Every Friday is giveaway day. Comment to win!
Win this modern world map, lovingly designed by our friends at These Are Things!
After wanting an awesome map to hang in their home and being unable to find it, Jen Adrion and Omar Noory made one they loved. Hang it in your home to remind you of all the exciting places you’ve yet to visit!
Longtime readers may recall that I first wrote about Jen & Omar, the owners of These Are Things, in The $100 Startup. Then, I was fortunate to collaborate with them on a major project earlier this year, Designed to Sell.
Jen & Omar are still making maps (and many other things), but this is the one that started it all. I have it in my office… and now you can have one, too.
What you need to know:
- This map is a great size for any room at 24×36
- This map is designed on heavyweight natural paper
- This giveaway is available to readers worldwide. Anyone can win!
- Our cats and biased judges will pick someone on Sunday night at 6pm PST
Enter this week’s giveaway by posting a comment, then check back on Sunday night. We’ll announce the winner and send them the prize!

Update: Comments are now closed. Congrats to Crystal Foth, selected by cats and a random number generator to win the map! Everyone else, thanks for entering. We’ll have another giveaway next week.

I’d love to have this in my room!
Heck yeah. I so need one. This rocks.
Lovely.
Love maps, would love to have this one in my office.
Wow, what a gorgeous piece of art! I love that not only is it sleek and modern and lighthearted (that smiling compass is adorable), but it could serve as a daily reminder that our world is vast, but our world is not beyond our reach, and a little source of daily inspiration to remember what else is out there, outside of my little apartment.
A very cool map. I’d love to have it hanging on my wall!
Interesting, I’ve got a spot on my wall in my new apartment that is perfect for a map of the world. This is exactly what I’m looking for…
Yes please!
love it!
It would a great edition to the nursery we are designing.
I have room on my wall for this.
Would love to have a map like that for my kids.
Looks great. Could replace the outdated globe that I have.
It’s funny, I’m about 20 minutes from finishing $100 Startup on my next break. I’d love for a constant reminder.
would love a new map
Chris, I wish we had connected in Chattanooga. I was speaking there too. I love These are Things. Thank you for putting them in your twitter feed. It’s where I look for novelty and news everyday. I like Jen and Omar already and I’ll take them up on their offer to be friends. 🙂
Very cool design!
I love maps! Definitely want this one!
yum!
If I remember correctly, they are out of Columbus. I live in Columbus and would love to meet them! Perhaps I can pick up the map from them if I win? 😉
Regardless… this map would be a beautiful addition to my room’s walls.
This would be a fantastic addition to my extremely plain room. My current map is free from national geographic! X

I moved into my new office months ago and the walls are still blank. I think I have been out of inspiration, and so far none of my ideas look quite right.
THIS MAP WOULD BE IT! It would definitely help in providing a sense of inspiration during a particularly long office lull.

This wall map would be so much cooler than my wall cat!
This story was, among other things, that helped spawn my idea to create a map and guide hybrid for day hiking in national parks and is the foundation of my business!

This poster looks amazing.
I love this map! (but it appears they drew the earth round, we all know it’s really flat!)
Millions of people out there are dreaming about creating a map like that. Hundreds of thousands are thinking about selling it and starting a business like yours. But only a few have the courage, determination and persistence to follow through and making it work, and I guess you’re one of those few. Thanks Guys for sharing your story, and Chris, for finding these people.
Maps are my favorite. I am on a quest to be able to name all the countries in the world in under 15 minutes, and I’m always just a few countries off… Maybe this map will help me get closer!
I’d love to have that one hanging in my living room. I’l so glad that you specified you are willing to ship internationally, too! 🙂
Hell ya I just moved in a new place and haven’t put anything on my walls yet. Would be an awesome addition! 🙂
This is the very exact colour scheme of my living room! <3
Oh it’s so beautiful! I loved their wisdom in Designed to Sell (and would love their map!).
LOVE the map, and this would allow me to toss the globe that is just cluttering up the bureau. I could put this above the bed in our guest room-turned-yoga studio!
Places to go! Things to See! Please pick me!
