Modern design table globe World, made in Italy
The origin of the Globe representation is strictly connected to astronomy and to armillary spheres. The most ancient terrestrial globe dates back to 1492, the year of America’s discovery. One of the most famous globe builder of XVII century was the geographer and cartographer friar Vincenzo Coronelli who realized in 1683 different globes destined to the Sun-King – Louis XIV and exposed in the Palace of Versailles.
First the globes were instruments used for studying and teaching, but soon they became real ornamental objects.  
The structure is made of transparent methacrylate. The motion work is made of chromiumplated brass; the base is made of lacquered MDF; the cut and engraving are carried out with computerized high-tech devices. 
Since the graphic of the world-map is a synthesis of our globe, it cannot be used for teaching purposes.
