Map Project Office is an industrial design firm based in East London, working with both major brands and start-ups in the consumer technology space. The studio works with abstract technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality or the IoT, creating accessible experiences for the end user.

History

Map was originally formed as a team within furniture design firm Barber & Osgerby[1] to accommodate its growing portfolio of design work for major technology brands including Google, IBM and Sony. Founded by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, it was spun-off into its own business in 2012, and has since received over 40 awards including Creative Review’s Creative Agency of the Year 2016.[2] In 2018 Map Project Office and its sister company Universal Design Studio joined with AKQA.[3] Map is now led by Directors Will Howe and Alex Hulme.

Work and awards

Map originally started with four people and has since grown to a team of 12 designers. Their three main strands of work are design for start-ups, global technology brands and, increasingly, exhibition and installation development for leading creative and advertising agencies.

For their work with start-up clients, the studio works in an end-to-end design process, from strategy, design and fundraising to production, sourcing and manufacturing and often across disciplines including engineering, science, digital and business.

One of Map’s first projects was with Kano to create a DIY computer kit that promotes STEAM and STEM learning for children. The kit, originally launched on Kickstarter, and has gone on to receive multiple awards.[4] Further work with start-ups include BleepBleeps[5] and the Beeline Smart Compass, which was awarded best Consumer Product by Design Week in 2017.[6]

The studio also works with technology brands conducting concept work, working with the client's in-house design teams to develop strategic products that will shape the future of technology, in many cases where the final output will end up being released 4 or 5 years later.

Working on collaborative exhibition and spatial design projects Map received awards for the Google Chrome Web Lab,[7] the Science Museum Entrance Desk[8] and IBM Watson IoT Head Quarters in Munich.[9]

In 2016, the studio was the recipient of the acclaimed Creative Agency of the Year by Creative Review and was also listed by Fast Co as one the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Design.[10]

For collaborations with Honda,[11] BleepBleeps[12] and Beeline[13] they were also featured extensively in Icon Magazine, FastCo Design,[14] The Drive, Wired[15] and Dezeen.

The studio was highlighted within The Design Economy[16] as a case study. The report released by the Design Council addressed the skills and economic contribution the industry provides to the UK.

Map Project Office collaborated with Universal Design Studio to design the world's first integrated quantum computing system for IBM. In 2019 IBM launched the IBM Q System One at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Map and Universal defined the vision for the system, where the hardware, spaces and interface were considered as a single coherent experience[17]. The design includes a nine-foot-tall, nine-foot-wide case of half-inch thick borosilicate glass forming a sealed, airtight enclosure. Its glass door opens effortlessly, simplifying the system’s maintenance and upgrade process while minimising downtime – making the IBM Q System One uniquely suited for reliable commercial use[18].
