Next month I will take a short trip to Japan. I never usually leave there empty handed so I already have a wish list in mind. One of the items on that list is this  stylish globe called ‘Corona’ that was designed by a Japanese design firm called Nendo.

I’ve been looking for a graphically simple globe that contrasts my current vintage globe collection to display in my working space. “nendo wanted to create a new globe which was more graphically emotional, rather than just simply an object which presents information. by reducing the amount of information shown and rendering the oceans and bodies of water in white and landmasses in black, the corona globe highlights the reliefs of islands and coastlines. the globe’s stand should complement the globe itself, so nendo created a gentle curve that recedes rather than stands out, powder-coating the steel for a clean finish that blends with the globe’s lustrous surface.”

KITKA posted a beautiful picture showcasing the string bookshelf with this Corona.
