The epic Replogle Obelisk Frank Lloyd Wright Floor Globe is the crown jewel of the line. The collaboration between Replogle and the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation reaches its apex in this colossal globe which stands 50 inches tall and features a 16 inch globe. The brilliance of the master architect’s visionary spirit is embodied in this model. The Obelisk is adapted from vase designs that the iconic architect created in 1929 for Leerdam Glassfabriek the legendary Dutch glassware-producing factory. The two toned solid maple and cherry hardwood base is a quintessential concept from America’s greatest architect. It accurately portrays Wright’s style which somehow manages to feel both futuristic and timeless. A die-cast meridian displaying latitudinal calibrations is gimbal-mounted to the frame enabling the viewer to swivel the globe for closer inspection. When examining the floor globe it is impossible not be enthralled by the parchment style antique-ocean political map. The beige colored ocean is offset by the earth-toned shades of the countries. Classical map characteristics like ornamented compass roses cartouches and legends populate the Replogle globe. Despite the nostalgic flavor the Obelisk contains completely up to date 21st century cartography.
