The map, carefully updated by our cartographers, features countries, capitals, cities, rivers, seas, and oceans, making it not only an elegant furnishing object but also an essential tool for planning your travels.

Vertigo, and therefore 'vertigo'. When we think of this word, we can only think of the sensation we occasionally experience when faced with great heights. However, this word was originally used primarily to indicate the rotation of celestial bodies. Galileo Galilei, for example, writing about clouds, said that "they would be seen moving with a very rapid, great, and constant motion, carried by the earth's diurnal vertigo."

It is from this ancient and noble meaning that we drew inspiration to name this important floor-standing globe, with its profoundly contemporary design: the free rotation of the sphere, in fact, expresses the "vertigo" cited by the great Italian astronomer, the father of modern science.

from a circular black base rises an elegant solid walnut structure, which, tracing soft and essential lines, supports—without imprisoning—the globe. The map presented in this globe is a contemporary map in natural tones.

Vertigo, besides being a charming accessory that fills your spaces with particular grace and elegance, is also an excellent tool for travel, whether real or imagined. Signed by Maker See less
