Zoffoli has been handing down the art of making globes and globe bars for generations and has also perfected the art of adding a classic look to modern world globes and contemporary bar globes.

The manufacturer Zoffoli says that regardless of the fact that we feel vertigo at great heights, the word originally stemmed from the rotation of celestial bodies: “Galileo Galilei, for example, when writing about clouds, said that ‘they could be seen moving very fast, large and constant, carried by the earth’s vertigo.’ It’s from this ancient and noble meaning that we have taken the inspiration to name this important floor standing globe, with a deep contemporary design: the free rotation of the sphere, in fact, wonderfully express the “vertigo” cited by the great Italian astronomer, father of the modern science.”
