About World Globes

Frank Lloyd Wright® World Globes

In 1928, Frank Lloyd Wright began creating a major remodeling project of the existing resort, the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel on the outskirts of Phoenix. The project was never completed due to the 1929 stock market crash, but the building design and the interior renderings contain a variety of interesting furniture and decorative features. This adapted world globe stand showcases the 60 degree angled legs and the hexagonal top of a small accent table designed for the totally new special Dining Pavilion bordered by the garden terraces of the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel, Chandler, Arizona. (Project revised 1936)

Replogle World Globes adopted this design in 2008 for the Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection.

Hybrid world globe heralds a new era in globe making.  It has been a long time since a globe maker has created a new globe manufacturing process.   CRAM has taken the next step with the Hybrid Globe.

The Hybrid globe ball, available in blue ocean as shown (Fairmont Blue Ocean) or antique ocean, provides a crisp, clean look that non-illuminated balls have always lacked.   The creases and cross cuts have been removed to create a bright, beautiful globe ball.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s overall concept for his buildings included the integration of the interior furnishings. In 1952, he developed a series of hexagonal metal chairs, tables and other furniture for the H.C. Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, that coordinated with the geometric shape of the building. Adapted from the hexagonal hassock design, the 12″ Frank Lloyd Wright® Hexagon Globe as part of the  Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection exemplifies the three Organic Elements used by Wright throughout his lifetime.  The metal base is triangular, the heagonal globe support is wood, and the globe is circular.

The Tabouret 9″ antique world globe is part of the  Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection.  The stand is an adaptation of one of the more than 22,000 drawings in the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation archives. The design is closely based on the tabouret table from a composite drawing showing the coordinating grandfather clock, chair, vase and tabouret table that Mr. Wright created for the Darwin D. Martin House, Buffalo, New York in 1903.
