Take a trip through our World Globe collection and find the perfect globe to add a planetary atmosphere to your home decor. Choose a planisphere from a wide range of sizes and styles, magnetic, in wood, glass, plastic, luminous or transparent!
A world globe is a spherical map of the Earth, the only map with no distortion of shape, area or distance. Ours range from classic desk globes with current political maps to illuminated globes that double as night lights, constellation globes that show the sky instead of the land, and levitating globes that float and spin above their base. Most are 14 to 30 cm across.
🌍
From 6 upwards. A globe on the desk answers the question with a spin, and an illuminated one makes it the best night light in the house.
🎁
A levitating or a constellation globe is the classic executive gift, done with a scientific twist.
✈️
Anyone planning the next trip or remembering the last one. A globe is a map you can hold.
Decide on the use first: a study globe to look things up, a night light for a child, a decorative piece for a shelf, or a levitating globe as a conversation starter.

Maps are current political maps in English. The lit globes are USB powered; the levitating ones run from a mains adapter, included.
Every flat map must stretch or shrink somewhere, because a sphere cannot be unrolled; the Mercator map that most of us grew up with makes Greenland look the size of Africa. A globe is the only honest representation, which is why navigators and schools kept using them long after flat maps were cheaper.
