About the Item
Vintage 1987 Illuminated Globe by Scan-Globe A/S, Denmark — Lucite Base
Bring a touch of Scandinavian modernism and global history into your space with this beautifully preserved vintage illuminated globe, manufactured in 1987 by Scan-Globe A/S in Denmark. Measuring approximately 12" W x 14" D x 16" H, this stunning piece features a colorful topographical map showcasing the geopolitical landscape of the late 20th century — including now-defunct nations and shifting borders that make it a historical artifact as well as a visual delight.
The globe lights up from within, casting a warm glow that reveals rich geographical detail and subtle elevation shading. It spins smoothly on a sculptural Lucite base, whose clear, modernist design gives the illusion of the Earth floating in space. This design-forward base makes it a standout on desks, shelves, or credenzas.
Ideal for collectors, world travelers, or design lovers, this globe captures a specific moment in time and presents it in an artful, functional form. The internal light works perfectly, with original wiring intact. A beautiful example of European craftsmanship and vintage educational design.
