More Information

The 80cm diameter Curve is a stunning centrepiece, with just a few made each year.

Designed by one of the team who made the accommodation pods for the British Antarctic Survey, the base has been further developed and fabricated by heritage technicians from Aston Martin. It is available in a brushed finish or aeronautical polish.

The globe sits on three semi-hidden roller bearings which allow a fluid 360 degree spin in a satisfying movement by hand.

The base can be paired with a hand painted globe in any colour – and is finished with a protective resin bonding coat which has a matte finish.
