Know before you buy
The globe draws inspiration from the geometric precision and organic aesthetic of Wright's original Barrel Chair design. It incorporates the signature earth-tone palette and structural elegance associated with his work to serve as a cohesive decorative piece.
The globe features a sophisticated bronze metallic finish. This provides a subtle sheen that complements the earth-tone map colors, allowing it to stand out as a refined accent piece rather than a traditional classroom globe.
Yes, because each globe is meticulously handcrafted and made-to-order, there will be slight variations that make your specific piece unique. This artisanal process ensures that no two globes are exactly alike.
The globe is designed as a freestanding unit with a stable base. It is intended for placement on flat, level surfaces like hardwood, tile, or low-pile rugs.
The globe has an overall width of 16 inches. This size is substantial enough to act as a focal point in a room while remaining compact enough to fit comfortably in a study, library, or living area.
