Like many great products, SplashMaps was born of frustration. David was out on his bike one day, struggling with a paper map.
He suddenly remembered there’d once been an ingenious solution to this problem: wartime silk escape and evasion maps.
As Ordnance Survey’s Innovation Manager, David was already working with a colleague on some high-tech projects for well-known mapping agencies.
Putting their heads together, they enhanced all the reasons those fabric maps were such a good idea.
Easy to use, accurate, and – freedom! – a good map can open up the world, and take you on a new and very personal adventure.
The next step was to see how fabric maps could leap forward into the 21st century. That was easy, through our network of home-grown, British talent who helped design and make our weatherproof, scrunchable, SplashMaps super eco-friendly.
Now, everything’s made from a ‘zero waste print process’ and you can dine-in on our 100% recycled SplashTex tablecloths.

Those fabric escape maps were a game-changer – true innovation. They’ve inspired us to innovate too and (hush! hush!), believe it or not, we’re already working with the brilliant minds at the University of Southampton to pioneer a new type of e-textile technology.
