It is not a simple globe, but a kinetic sculpture designed for those seeking excellence in materials and innovative lines, without ever sacrificing the geographical precision of a map updated by our master cartographers.

The name of this furnishing accessory draws inspiration from the physical concept of orbit. In celestial mechanics, an orbit is the curved path a body follows in space around a center of mass: an invisible trajectory that holds the universe in perfect balance. Similarly, the structure of this globe seems to trace the orbits of the planets in space.

The three curved wooden lines bend boldly to accommodate the sphere, holding it in an embrace that appears almost suspended. This structure does not simply support the globe, but follows its curvature, eliminating the traditional vertical axis to make room for a freer and more open view of the world. It is a tribute to Kepler's vision, who saw geometric proportions as the key to understanding the harmony of the cosmos. See less
