about our globes

Whilst putting this page together we wondered how the globes we love were actually made. Surprisingly enough, Google had the answer in the form of this YouTube video. Which was moderately interesting. So we put it here.

We have globes in many sizes, from small desk globes to massive floor globes. In varying colours like blue, antique styled, black, other slightly different blues and more. And on a whole range of stands: big ones, small ones; tall ones, short ones; wooden, metal and plastic ones; subjectively pretty and ugly ones, and from a slew of different makers of globes.

Not all the globes we can get are on this site (yet), so if you've found a globe somewhere that you like and you can't find it anywhere here, send us an email, it's reasonably likely that we can get it in for you.

This magnetically suspended Stellanova globe is an impressive high-tech instrument, as well as a fully functional, accurately detailed world globe.

Displaying deep cobalt blue oceans and metallic silver land masses, this beautiful 4 inch globe features accurately detailed, up-to-date cartography. When switched on, the globe is suspended within the single arm display stand which is a metallic silver colour.

As the world's first magnetic levitating globe, this model is equipped with an intelligent computer control. Utilizing CCL (Computer Controlled Levitation) a magnetic field sensor continuously measures the height at which the globe sphere is suspended. The electronic sensors in the base control an electronic magnet in the upper part of the frame which is used to adjust the distance between the globe sphere and magnetic head.

The globe snaps securely to the base when the magnetic field is de-activated. The permanent magnet installed in the south pole of the globe holds the sphere safely on the base whenever the suspension mechanism is switched off.
