The illuminated globe from JRO Verlag München, dating from the 1960s, exemplifies mid-century modern design through the harmony of function and decoration. The sphere, rendered in acrylic or cellulose acetate, displays turquoise-blue oceans complemented by warm, pastel continents in orange, yellow, pink, and beige. A brushed metal meridian ring, engraved with latitude markings, supports the globe, which is mounted on a subtly lacquered dark wood base. An integrated brown power cable with switch provides illumination functionality. The form is defined by clean lines and precise cartographic printing characteristic of the era. Condition is very good with only minimal signs of age on the wooden base and no major damage. This globe evokes the optimism and curiosity of the 1960s—a period seeking balance between enlightenment and daily beauty. Its illuminated sphere, like a capsule of light, invites global journeys, revealing pastel landscapes across turquoise waters. The brushed metal and lacquered base embody refined restraint, recalling a time when globes were as much objects of fascination as vessels of knowledge. In an interior, it could be placed on a vintage bookshelf, a minimalist 1960s desk, or alongside a collection of geometric prints. It works well in both living rooms and studies, highlighting mid-century character when paired with dark veneers, glass, and metal. Positioned on a low console in a muted arrangement, the gentle glow of the globe can lend warmth and a tranquil ambiance to evenings. No additional technical or maintenance data provided. Operates via standard power cable. Materials: wood, acrylic (or cellulose acetate), metal. Dimensions: height 35 cm, width 25 cm, depth 27 cm.
