Product
A three dimensional interpretation of the London Underground map in pipework. Polished copper pipes interweave at representative levels to celebrate the maps iconic composition. Valves topped with a series of coloured washers have been used to reference the specific lines and interchanging stations with the brackets marking all other smaller stops.
Mounted onto a board as standard in a colour of choice. Tube Map can also be installed directly onto a wall and other finish and configurations can be customised to specification.
The standard version here offered (as shown in the pictures) is made of polished and lacquered copper pipe, brass fittings and powder coated valves in white colour. The central part of each valve shows the colours of the tube line(s) served by the station.
