Follow a mountain range. Find a country you have always wanted to visit. Turn the light on and see the world a little differently.
The Atmosphere Classic B4 30 cm Illuminated World Globe brings the pleasure of discovery into everyday life. With its blue oceans, natural landscape colours and warm timber base, it looks beautifully at home on a desk, beside a favourite armchair or among the books in a study. Then, at the flick of a switch, its physical mapping gives way to an illuminated political view, bringing countries and their boundaries into focus.
It is a lovely invitation to pause, look closer and let one question lead to another.
🎬 Watch: How to Choose a World Globe
Our Mapworld buying-guide video introduces the choices to consider when finding a globe for your home, office or family.
🌍 Two ways to discover the same world
With the light off, explore the landscape. Physical mapping uses natural colours to show the character of the Earth, from mountain systems and deserts to the contours of the ocean floor. It encourages you to look beyond familiar place names and consider the terrain that connects and separates them.
With the light on, explore the countries. Internal LED illumination reveals the political view, highlighting countries, borders and capitals. It is particularly useful when a place comes up in conversation, a child asks where somewhere is, or a travel story sends you searching across the globe.
Having both views on one globe makes it easy to move between the natural landscape and the countries we use to describe it.
🪵 Italian design with the warmth of natural wood
Made in Italy, the Classic B4 combines a solid beechwood base with a die-cast metal meridian, the supporting arc around the globe. The timber brings warmth to the design, while the metal provides a crisp finishing detail.
Its 30 cm sphere has enough presence to become a focal point on a sideboard or generous desk. Give it a place within easy reach: a globe is far more enjoyable when you can turn it, explore it and share what you find.
💡 A gentle glow for your favourite corner
The 1.5 W LED light adds soft ambient illumination to the room as it reveals the political mapping. A removable USB connection powers the light, and the globe remains an attractive physical reference when disconnected.
