Product description

More about the series Universe...

The constellations with more than 800 fixed stars up to magnitude 5

The illuminated table globe made of shatterproof and heat-resistant acrylic glass with a base and meridian made of brushed stainless steel in a matt finish shows the 88 official constellations of the celestial sphere.

The constellations are labelled and clearly highlighted by connecting lines. The individual stars are displayed differently depending on their apparent brightness. The constellations are shown as we see them in the sky, i.e. not upside down when viewed from the outside of the celestial sphere. The celestial globe therefore shows the stars in their usual orientation, making it particularly useful for learning the constellations.

The celestial globe also shows the band of the Milky Way with its structure.

The classically elegant yet purist functional base gets its matt sheen from a very special stainless steel finish. This masterful craftsmanship makes your very own globe an expression of a special quality of life that will give you pleasure for decades to come.

Genuine crystal glass: The manufacture of this globe from a hand-blown crystal glass sphere is characterised by outstanding craftsmanship.
The production of a hand-blown crystal glass sphere is a real challenge that only a handful of glass artists worldwide are still able to meet. That is why it often takes several days before the selected materials are processed into a cartographic and optical masterpiece with a great deal of experience, skill and passion. Your globe is therefore a custom-made product of craftsmanship.

What are the advantages of a globe made of genuine crystal glass?

  • Maximum optical clarity: crystal glass has excellent light transmission and virtually no distortion. Colours appear more brilliant and contours are razor sharp.
  • High-quality feel and aesthetics: crystal glass feels cool and solid, and looks elegant and luxurious.
  • Scratch resistance: Compared to acrylic, crystal glass is significantly more resistant to scratches, which leads to better surface quality in the long term.
  • Durability & UV stability: Glass does not yellow like some plastics – it remains clear even after years of use.

Crystal glass is the more elegant choice for exclusive globes – visually superior, durable and high-quality to the touch.
