I could not resist! Topoware!
Ok! This is coming from the person who only ever purchases second hand or hand made table ware for ethical and environmental reasons posting this! I am not advocating the acquisition of this stuff but dang it the geographer in me gets seduced by it! And i am a real succer for design and well would need an entirely new abode to match the table ware. Topoware - how can you not luv that idea! (almost totally useless - the place mat anyway - but really cool!). They even have a topo table cloth and a full matchin’ topo china set!
The unintended outcome of googlemaps! Via Moco Loco
They didn’t push this idea far enough. It would be a lot more compelling if the dishes were irregularly shaped, like topography, so the lines actually meant something; true topo lines on a circular dish like this would just be horizontal circles.

You are correct! But a fine start! Their interview on mocoloco was a bit shallow as well. Bit i like what they are trying to do!
