The World Topographic Hexagons Wall Map
Every landmass is built from hexagons. Oxford Cartographers rebuilt the continents as a hexagonal grid, then colored the cells by land height, so the Himalaya, the Andes, and the Ethiopian Highlands read as tight clusters of darker tone while the Amazon Basin and the West Siberian Plain sit low and pale.
Drawn on the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection, centered on 15 degrees East longitude. That centering places Europe and Africa at the middle of the sheet, and because the projection is equal area, Africa reads at its true relative size instead of the shrunken version most rectangular world maps give it.
