The globe features the "Classic" cartography of the National Geographic Maps Division. This cartography is essentially political, with physical information indicated by shading.
Over 2,000 geographical names are marked on this illuminated standing globe. The text is clearly laid out and each country is shown in a different colour, with a darker shade at the borders to highlight the political map. Undersea trenches and basins are marked in the oceans. Red and blue arrows indicate the most important warm and cold ocean currents. Different shades of blue indicate the depths of the oceans, while shading indicates the mountain ranges on the land masses.
With the design of the stand, the Danish team at Tools has succeeded in creating a true reinterpretation of the globe, with a clear design language and light proportions.
Moving away from the prototypical view of the globe, where the sphere is suspended from a meridian, the Neon model features an innovative stand design. The slim shape of the high-quality aluminium axis makes the sphere appear to float above the elegantly designed light wood ring. The axis is naturally inclined to correspond to the actual inclination of the Earth's axis.
This is an exceptionally elegant piece of furniture that enriches any living space with style and uniqueness.
