Grafomap is a design firm headquartered in Latvia that leverages OpenStreetMap data combined with artistic filters to produce personalized map posters featuring locations from around the globe.
History
Operating out of Riga, Grafomap manufactures and distributes its posters from both Los Angeles and Riga. Established in 2016 by Rihards Piks and Karlis Bikis, the enterprise drew inspiration from Snazzy Maps, a WordPress tool designed for customizing map colors on websites. This idea progressed into providing bespoke, real-time map artwork suitable for wall decoration.
Grafomap has attracted attention across fashion, art, and business publications such as The Guardian, Chicago Tribune, Launching Next, The Coolector, Simply Grove, PSFK, and Product Hunt.
