Eye-Catching World Map posters and Personalized Wallpaper you should hang on your walls


I don’t know much about Ibn Battuta, but his words are very familiar to me. They come to mind when I am, indeed, speechless as I gaze upon the wonders that I encounter in my travels, as I find commonalities in strangers and appreciate the intricacies of a culture different from my own. They come to mind again when I become the storyteller as my family and friends gather around the cork world map created by Lana KK that showcases my travels.

The World Map Colorful adorns my drawing room. I was attracted to the colors—so much so, in fact, that I decorated the room around the map and so it is the focal point. My guests are first attracted to it as the work of art it is with aesthetically pleasing designs and hues. Then as they draw closer, they see the gold round-head push pins subtly marking the places around the world that I have visited, fine gold thread joining some of the pins according to a particular itinerary. Bronze pins await patiently to be replaced with gold, marking my future travels.

World Map posters
One of my favorite things about the world map wall art is that my guests may enjoy it as is it—there are those who need nothing more than its beauty and to know where I’ve been and where I’m going. I am not a boor, after all! I do not foist my cherished travel stories on those who will not appreciate them. But when my guests linger before the map and ask, I become the storyteller of whom Ibn Battuta spoke. I get to relive glorious experiences, and my “audience” is transported to other times and places. I don’t think there is anything that equals traveling for the wealth of interesting stories—some funny, some bizarre, some soul-stirring, some poignant, some jubilant—all of them fascinating.

Sometimes I pass by the world map as I follow my everyday routine, and one of my many memories reaches out to me. I grab it and savor it for that moment.

Sometimes the map is an educational tool for my children (and, truth be known, for me also). They learn about a region or a country in school and come home to find out where it lies in relation to the rest of the world. My children are growing up in a much smaller world than I did, so when we hear something on the news about a place with a “strange-sounding name,” we go to our wall map to be able to situate it.

My son already has his own world map in his room on which he notes the places he’s been and the places he is determined to go. I’m happy that he is a curious lad gifted with wanderlust. In fact, he chose Lana KK’s Wanderlust Design World Map, the 100cm x 70cm size, which he marks with silver and black push pins. When he graduates from school and likely to go off traveling by himself or with his companions rather than his parents, I’ll get him a larger one.

I gifted my niece and her husband with the World Map Antique for their wedding—she is an amateur historian and he a professional. I wasn’t concerned that they had not traveled. It’s an exquisite work of art that fits in with their interior décor, but it has motivated them to travel. I delight in the tables being turned and they become the storytellers. They also have done a marvelous job of arranging their most memorable photos around the map. My in-laws will soon be retiring. Ever since their family was grown, they have been working and saving to be able to travel. Their gift will be World Map Nostalgia.

My next vision is one of Lana KK’s cork world maps in the office—World Map Blue Ocean, if I have my choice. It’s a bright yet soothing color—a quiet place in a hectic workplace. I’m picturing each of us having our own color push pins and marking all the places we get to travel to—a perk of working for an international company. The boss is interested in the idea, particularly since Lana KK fits in with our own mission of high-quality and sustainable materials.

Kitchen backs made of single-pane safety glass (ESG) - more than just decoration

ESG, or advertised single-pane safety glass is characterized by many positive qualities. Consisting of a single pane, which is specially heat treated, the glass is particularly shock and impact resistant. Even with respect to large temperature differences the glass remains untouched. Of course, it is also waterproof, heat resistant and scratch resistant.
Should it nevertheless break under extreme load, it will break up into many very small parts without sharp edges. By minimizing the risk of injury, this type of glass is also used in cars for side and rear windows. Another advantage of "real" glass is that it is recyclable and therefore sustainable.
All these useful properties are therefore reflected in the noble Lana KK® kitchen splash backs. Thus, our ESG kitchen tile mirrors stand out clearly from those of acrylic glass.

With a thickness of 6mm, they not only blend in beautifully with the overall look of your kitchens, they are also very practical.
Imagine: the kitchen is a place where you can cook, eat and chat in company. A meeting place where the family gathers or friends are received.
The whole hustle and bustle of course leaves its mark. In contrast to a tiled kitchen mirror with many joints in which dirt accumulates, a glass rear wall can be wiped off very easily. We recommend a damp, clean cloth and a little commercial detergent. Your back wall will shine like new even after an intense cooking session.
Here, too, shows the advantage over acrylic glass. Acrylic glass will appear more and more dim and dull, as it reacts to gasoline, acetone, alcohol and other solvents, which may also be contained in detergents.

Decorative splash guard for the kitchen

The installation site does not necessarily have to be near the oven. Also behind the sink, it is extremely useful as a splash guard.
The attachment to the wall is done with mirror tape or a suitable adhesive. Since the kitchen splash back is opaque, you will see neither the wall or the old tile mirror nor the used mounting material.

Like any other glass mural, it is also a design element that lets you express yourself in the kitchen. A special decoration object, which really not everyone has.
The smooth, shiny surface is particularly noble and gives the room a feel-good atmosphere.
At Lana KK® you will find a large selection of motifs. From nature photography to food photography and abstract designs. Feel free to choose your favorite and take your kitchen to a new level. It is worth it!

The motifs are produced in fine art print quality by our ART manufactory in the standard sizes 90x60 cm, 80x50 cm or in your desired dimensions. We use only ecological pigment colors for perfect color reproduction without greenish tint through the glass. For many years, you will enjoy the luminous splendor as much as on the first day.
The delivery time for our standard products is about 5-7 working days. By express you can hold your desired picture in your hands after 3 working days and start directly with the assembly.

And you have not found anything or need a special measure? That is also no problem! Lana KK® can produce your very own kitchen back wall. Whether special formats, color adaptation of motifs of our collection or the implementation of your own photos. Our customer service is there to help you with words and deeds to make your idea a reality. After receiving your ideas, they will be forwarded to our graphics department and immediately reviewed for feasibility. Once this has been confirmed, the motif will be completed in consultation with you and you will also receive a preview as a PDF file. Finally, with your final approvals, you give us the starting signal for the printing and completion of your very own kitchen back wall.

In a nutshell, it can be said that Lana KK® glass pictures are not only convincing due to the special properties such as extreme stability, heat and scratch resistance of the tempered glass, but also due to their sophisticated motifs, brilliant print quality and first-class finishing.
