Green and Gold Globe 
You wouldn’t think there would be too many innovations left for the globe world, but MOVA managed a major shift with its now-famous self-rotating globes. Using solar cells, magnets and the Earth’s magnetic field, these acrylic balls continuously rotate themselves on a variety of available stands to suit multiple aesthetics. While many designs are available, few prove as evocative and inspiring as the golden world across the deep emerald seas of the posh Green and Gold Globe, but feel free to match the mood of your room with personalized combinations of globe and stand designs.
