Contemporary floor lamp ABSOLUT LIGHTING
GLOBE by Rösing

Globes

ever since, at the end of the 15th century, nuremberg merchant martin behaim had the world, at the time still very incomplete, printed onto a globe, the latter have been extremely popular as a compact cartographic medium. in an illuminated version they are not only particularly practical but also an impressive accessory for any living room or study.

the absolut-lighting globe »erde« (earth) offers a clever dual-image system. when lit up it presents a physical map of our world, when unlit, a political one, in english or german, as preferred. the globes »mond« (moon) and »sterne« (stars) invite their owners on a virtual trip through strange worlds, bathing the room where they stand in a gentle, dreamy light. this illuminated globe series features an impressively appealing mixture of materials, craftsmanship to »absolut«'s usual high standards and, for the standard lamp version, a height that can be adjusted smoothly.
