Replogle Mini Wright.Desktop Globe, Walnut-Finish Wood Stand.6 Inch, Acrylic, Silver-Black Sphere.8.2"W x 8.2"D X 14"H, 2.2 Lbs.Hand-crafted in the USA.The Replogle Mini Wright Desktop Globe is inspired by a design from the famous American architect's archives. The square pedestal stand is based off of conceptual drawings he made for an unidentified Prairie Home from the early 1900's. The 14 inch walnut-finish hardwood stand supports the 6 inch world globe through a 360 degree gimbal mounted metal meridian. The thinly styled meridian enables the sphere to be rotated up and down for closer inspection. The rich brown hue of the hardwood stand is contrasted with the striking black and silver map. The slate colored oceans are offset by the shining metallic silver landmasses. The political divisions of the continents are delineated by thin lines that break up this two toned color scheme. A plethora of place names are clearly labelled in a bold typeface. The mix of contemporary style with the distinctive Frank Lloyd Wright design from 100 years ago is what makes the Replogle Mini Wright Desktop Globe such a curious and delightful piece. Its classic elements make it an enduring treasure, yet its modern map lends a sleek and charismatic flair that feels very of-the-moment.
