It is therefore a star that can be seen at all times, and above all, everywhere on our planet. It is no coincidence, then, that we decided to name this impressive floor-standing globe Sirius. For over seventy years, our brand has helped explorers and the curious plan journeys to their dream destinations, and we wanted to condense all our long experience into this large, warm-toned globe. This refined home object can therefore transform into a magnificent springboard to distant lands, an exceptional base for the most adventurous journeys.

Even before the globe itself, the solid and distinctive structure that supports it is striking. The vertical columns are crafted from beech wood, while the base and top are constructed from fine Tanganyika walnut. This is a reddish-brown wood that grows in the humid forests of the African equatorial belt, and requires expert craftsmanship to bring out its best.

The political map is richly detailed, featuring cities and nations, as well as numerous geographical landmarks such as rivers, seas, oceans, lakes, and mountains. The apricot color, which predominates over the other warm tones, makes this globe a refined, welcoming, and attractive object, lending a sense of comfort and unparalleled elegance to any space.
