The ravishing Replogle Barrel Frank Lloyd Wright Floor Globe aptly embodies the American architect's wildly imaginative spirit. The globe is based off of Wright's iconic "Barrel Chair." The original chairs were used in the architect's own "Taliesin" property in Spring Green Wisconsin along with Herbert F. Johnson's "Wingspread" property. The initial design from the legendary artist has been modified to fit Replogle's floor globe. The back of Wright's chair has been adapted to fit this contemporary unit retaining its distinctive curved frame and vertical wooden slats. The world globe is framed in a gimbaled 360 degree die-cast meridian. The sphere can be swiveled up and down to perfectly suit the perspective of the viewer. The model's 16 inch globe features a raised relief. The entire floor globe stands an impressive 38 inches high with the base included.
The warm earth-toned shades of the planet's landmasses compliment the off-white ocean color of the political map. The continents display a bronze metallic patchwork of countries ripe with contemporary place names despite the antique style of the map. Classical map flourishes like compass roses and cartouches adorn the parchment colored oceans. This visionary Replogle Barrel Frank Lloyd Wright Floor Globe is sure to turn heads with its startling design that feels both futuristic and ageless. This model is one of the shining stars of the stellar Frank Lloyd Wright collection by Replogle.
