Overview
Mapelio is a British map-art brand founded in 2020 that designs and produces personalised custom maps and fine art map prints. Operating from a studio in the Cotswolds, the company combines cartography with minimalist wall art, offering both made-to-order personalised street maps and a curated range of topographical and fine art maps of regions such as Scotland, US states, and major cities. Products are printed on museum-grade fine art paper using giclée printing and are available framed or unframed in a range of sizes. The brand was founded by Monty, who studied Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh and later served in the British Army, where maps were integral to his work. He founded Mapelio to make art more sustainable and accessible, drawing on a love of minimalism, maps, and capturing memories. The company emphasises sustainability, sourcing wood and pulp from sustainably managed forests and using FSC-certified mountboard. Mapelio began selling internationally in 2021, expanding into North America, the European Union, the UAE, and Australia. The brand reports over 2,000 prints sold and over 600 customer reviews, and its artwork has been featured in publications including Scottish Field, National Parks UK, and Scotland Magazine, as well as appearing in galleries and studios. Mapelio offers free global delivery to the UK, US, Australia, and EU countries, with orders typically delivered within 6–10 business days.
History
Mapelio was founded in 2020 by Monty, who had studied Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh and later served in the British Army, where maps were integral to his work. He founded the company as a way of making art more sustainable and accessible to everyone, born out of a love of minimalism, maps, and capturing memories. The goal from the outset was to create artwork that has meaning and beauty, whether through topographical prints or by using colour to highlight geographical features. In 2021, Mapelio started to grow into new territories and began selling to customers in North America, the European Union, the UAE, and Australia. The brand has been featured in a large number of publications, including Scottish Field, National Parks UK, and Scotland Magazine, with artwork also appearing in galleries and studios around the country. With over 2,000 prints sold, Mapelio has earned recognition as one of the most prominent map artists, accumulating over 600 reviews from customers. The company operates from a studio in the Cotswolds, United Kingdom, and offers free global delivery to the UK, US, Australia, and EU countries. Its product range includes personalised custom street maps, fine art topographical maps, gold foil fine art maps, and maps of specific regions such as Scotland and US states. Products are made to order, printed using giclée methods on museum-grade fine art paper, and available framed or unframed in a range of sizes. Sustainability remains a core value, with wood and pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests and FSC-certified mountboard used for mounted prints.
