Phoenix, AZ Cork Turntable Mat – Detailed City Map Design
This Phoenix cork turntable mat features a detailed map of the Valley of the Sun, defined by its expansive street grid, desert waterways, and surrounding natural landscape. The design follows the Salt River across the southern edge of the city, capturing the contrast between downtown, the broad arterial roads, the growing neighborhoods, and the foothills beyond in intricate detail. A striking piece for any record collector who loves the desert Southwest, and a memorable gift for someone who has lived in Phoenix, visited, or traded winter for sunshine there.
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.
