When does a globe become a floor-standing globe?
A globe becomes a floor-standing model when it reaches a certain height and offers the necessary stability. Our largest model stands at 135 cm and features a hand-laminated globe with a diameter of 75 cm. Medium-sized models are around 100 cm high, while more compact versions measure approximately 37 cm.
The stands are crafted from wood, metal, or a refined combination of both materials. The acrylic globe is illuminated with a replaceable energy-saving bulb. Our map designs are either traditionally hand-laminated or produced using modern thermoforming techniques.
Sometimes, it only takes a small change to transform a room or create a new atmosphere. Floor-standing globes are particularly effective in living spaces and business environments, where they serve as a distinctive and elegant eye-catcher.
Which cartography is used for floor-standing globes?
In political cartography, the focus lies on individual countries. National borders are clearly highlighted, and each country is shown in a different color.
For National Geographic floor-standing globes, two types of political map designs are used:
The “Classic” design features blue oceans with countries in contrasting colors, with physical details indicated through subtle shading.
The “Executive” design presents an antique-style appearance.
Both versions reflect current international borders.
Räthgloben 1917 Publisher
The hand-laminated floor-standing globes with a diameter of 50 cm by Räthgloben display a physical map of the Earth, with clearly defined and up-to-date national borders.
A special feature includes machine-made globes produced using thermoforming techniques, particularly those with a diameter of 37 cm. These models feature dual-image cartography: when unlit, they display a physical map of the Earth, and when illuminated, a political map appears.
Where are the floor-standing globes made?
All of our floor-standing globes are manufactured exclusively in Germany and Italy. The wood used in production is sourced entirely from within the European Union.
Our planet for your home
A globe is a timeless design object that integrates beautifully into any interior concept. If space allows, a floor-standing globe can be placed centrally as a striking focal point. Alternatively, a more slender model can be positioned discreetly in the background, serving as an elegant source of indirect light.
