Chicago Cork Turntable Mat – Detailed City Map Design

This Chicago cork turntable mat features a detailed map of the Windy City, the home of Chicago blues and the birthplace of house music, defined by its structured street grid, winding river, and long stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline. The design follows the Chicago River through the heart of the city and out toward the lakefront, capturing the dense urban core, the open shoreline, and the surrounding neighborhoods in intricate detail. A great piece for any record collector who loves Chicago, and a memorable gift for a proud Chicagoan or anyone who has spent time in the city.

Part of our Studio Series, the artwork is infused directly into our proprietary high-density cork through dye sublimation, then finished with a protective UV seal. The result is a smooth, detailed surface that brings the artwork to life while preserving the natural character and performance of the cork.
