THE COLLECTION

desktop globes

Bellerby & Co creates desktop and tabletop globes in a large range of sizes. From the small Pocket Globe and Mini Desk Globe to large statement pieces.

The Albion refers to the base they designed where the globe is able to spin 360 degrees in a fluid motion by hand on an innovative ball bearing system. You will be choosing the sizing of the globe, colouring both land and sea, the base material and finish, and working one-on-one with them through the options of personalisation.

Floor Standing Globes

Bellerby & Co create Floor Standing Globes in 50cm, 65cm, 80cm and 127cm diameter. They have both traditional styles where the globe spins within a hand engraved brass meridian (can be moved to spin from any angle), as well as modern and contemporary designs where the globe can be spun 360 degrees in a fluid motion by hand on ball bearings.

Their globes are made to be touched and spun. You will be choosing the sizing of the globe, colouring both land and sea, the base style, base material and finish, and working one-on-one with them through the options of personalisation.
