With their cool, understated designs, these world globes from a small German company are a significant departure from colorful school room versions, making them an elegant addition to even the highest style modern interior. The sturdy construction yields an absolutely smooth and balanced spin, with a double axis design that allows the globe to be viewed from all directions.  Thoughtful details include a thin felt bottom that is gentle on all surfaces. The silver toned map on each reflects International English standards—choose deep blue with a polished base or striking matte black.
