This Stress Ball Map Zooms In When You Squeeze It

ADVERTISEMENT

In an inspired modern take on the old-fashioned globe map, Dénes Sátor, a design student in Hungary, has created an egg-shaped map that you can squeeze to inflate, revealing details from the streets of Budapest.

The map, which is a durable balloon filled with air, has a detailed print on it that expands when squeezed, revealing details that were not initially visible. Sator points out that the modern technologies we often rely on can be finicky – smartphones need data or WiFi coverage and charged batteries while ordinary maps are easily torn and damaged. This beautifully-colored balloon, on the other hand, is waterproof and can be brought anywhere.

Sator eventually plans to sell the maps and to design them for other cities as well, so be sure to follow his work if you like it!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

So you're telling me when I'm angry at someone I can squeeze this ball to cool down and find out exactly where to go to get my revenge? Excellent *Mr Burns Face*

Brilliant idea. There is nothing more stressful than getting lost in a strange city when on holiday or a business trip.
