At first glance, Haptic Lab’s City Map Quilts looks like an expanse of soft white. A closer look reveals intricate stitching, yielding a touch-worthy surface that encompasses the map of famous cities, from Chicago (pictured here) to Paris. "My first quilted maps were meant to be wayfinding tools for the visually impaired," Fischer says.
In addition to its City Quilts, the company also creates throw blankets that feature famous coasts and water sources like its Great Lakes Quilt.
