The aim was to create a lifestyle mood light with the character of a globe. The result is a neutral design which compliments every interior whether hanging by an acrylic thread from the lounge ceiling or sitting on the acrylic ring in the office. When suspended the globe is optically freed as an object and appears to float in space. Pressing the dimmer switch illuminates the globe and the political information which is printed on the inside. Borders, country names and city names glow from within the globe. The neutral colours of the globe allow for the creation of many lighting moods through the installation of different coloured bulbs. Story behind the product: The dream to have ones own product on the market. Designers *Mike Davis and *Mark Ital have with the Devign Globe realised this dream. On a business trip they both read an article featured in the Lufthansa In-flight magazine about the Columbus Verlag in Sigmaringen, South Germany. As world market leader they produce many different globes. Both designers were globe owners and enjoyed the informative and communication rich nature of the product. However this information was not presented in the desired style. Their idea was to develop a hybrid lifestyle-globe-light which, due to its understatement style, would fit to all environments and whose lighting tones could be modified to fit a specific scenario. During the long flight from Germany to Hong Kong it was decided that on their return to Germany they would visit the Columbus Verlag and together they would develop their own globe.
