« Globe très bien conçu, mais difficile à assembler. »
A globe that lights up, in a geared wooden mount.
A printed globe mounted on a geared wooden stand, circled by a ring, with an inner light that makes the continents glow in the evening. A 3D puzzle to build, halfway between a desk piece and a mood lamp.
An illuminated 3D wooden puzzle, cabinet-of-curiosities style
You build the cut-wood mount, with its geared stand, its supporting arc and its ring, then fit the printed globe, which lights up from the inside. In the evening, the continents stand out in soft light: a piece that invites you to travel.
Who's it for? A desk that's missing something to gaze at. A lover of maps and travel. A mood lamp with real style.
