Grafomap is a Latvia-based design company that combines OpenStreetMap data with design filters, allowing people to create map posters of places in the world.
History
[edit]The company and its team are located in Latvia, while the posters and maps are printed and shipped from Los Angeles and Riga.[1] Grafomap was founded in 2016 by Rihards Piks and Karlis Bikis.[1][2][3][4][5]
According to co-founder Rihards Piks, the start-up is inspired by Snazzy Maps. It is a WordPress plugin that colors maps for website contact pages. The idea transformed into creating custom maps in real-time for people who would like to use maps as wall posters.[6][7]
The start-up has been featured in numerous fashion, art and business outlets like The Guardian,[8] Chicago Tribune,[9] Launching Next,[10] The Coolector,[11][12] Simply Grove,[13] PSFK[14] and Product Hunt.[15]
