A full die-cast meridian is gimbal mounted to the frame. The beige colored antique oceans match the beautiful brown hue of the walnut-finish stand.

The collaboration between Replogle and the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation is an incredible fruitful one, as evidenced by this curious, enchanting globe. The Replogle San Marcos Frank Lloyd Wright Desktop Globe is one of the most dynamic desktop models from the line. The faithful adaptation of Wright's design gives the world globe an otherworldly quality; an unmistakable feeling that comes from concepts that originate in the architect's wild imagination.
