World Globes – as Gifts and Décor
Finding a good accent piece for the home or office can sometimes be a daunting task. World globe sales continue to grow at a higher rate for use in home and office Décor than for the educational purposes they where originally designed for. One reason for this is that as schools become more technologically proficient in delivering geographic information to their students (thus less demand for a physical teaching tool), globe manufacturers have enhanced the styles of globes being produced to move into the décor market.
Over 80% of the world globe models being manufactured today are built with beautifully designed wood and metal stands for both floor and desk placement, which is reflected in the styles being produced by Replogle Globes, National Geographic, Columbus Globes and many others.
In addition, technology is also playing a larger roll in the development of new models that bring the element of magnetic levitation or rotating without the help of the user. These world globes make great gifts and are available from manufacturers such as Stellanova, Levitron and Mova Globes.
When choosing the right globe, there are basically three things you need to know before you start shopping. If you have this information in advance, you will be able to quickly find the world globe that meets your needs.
How much space do you have available? Globes can range from 3-inches to 45-inches in width and generally run from 5-inches to 48-inches tall.
What color best fits your décor purposes? When it comes to the globe itself you will find the basic colors to be blue ocean, antique ocean, and black ocean.
What base and meridian style will most compliment your current décor? Whether a floor standing world globe or a desk or tabletop globe, the biggest choice you will have is the color and type of base material. Which can include light and dark wood, metal and acrylic. Make sure when settling on the style you know if the meridian (the piece that holds the globe in place) is plastic or metal. You don’t want to be surprised after you receive it!

building globe theatre model?
I'm making a model of the Globe Theatre for english class. I want it to look perfect. Can someone tell me where blueprints are, (like where can i find instructions online) what materials to use, and best ways to do it? Thanks!
I don't want to use paper or cardstock or foam board. I was thinking maybe that really lightweight wood...what's it called? And i was thinking I could have it swing open to reveal the seats and stage
Balsa wood.
