If your office style has higher brows than Joan Crawford, the Envoy Blue Ocean Illuminated Floor Globe might be of interest to you.
This beauty is from National Geographic’s online store, so you know it has to be extremely well made and extremely handsome. National Geographic’s legendary cartographers use a process that combines 17 layers of rich color printing with specially developed materials to create these virtually unbreakable state-of-the-art globes.
With the light off, the globe shows a wealth of political data and 5,000 place names, all printed in the patented National Geographic typeface. With the light on, the physical world is revealed with meticulously hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation zones, and ocean floors.
This beautiful globe would be as magnificent in the home as it would be in the workplace. During the years I home-schooled my three daughters, this would have been an amazing resource. Actually, it would still be a great resource. While playing Trivia Pursuit, if I got one of the hateful Geography questions, I could simply announce that I had to be in the next room for a minute… I left my drink in there, I needed to pet my cat, I suddenly forgot what color my throw pillows were – you know, a fib most excellent.
Details:
- 14″ diameter
- 39″ high with walnut-finished stand
- Cord is concealed by running through the base
- Lifetime guarantee
- Comes with a certificate of authenticity and a booklet on globemaking

I didn’t know National Geographic had it’s very own custom typeface. That’s the kind of trivia that I love. Of course, there are people out there who are total font freaks and know the history and name of pretty much every typeface in existence. That’s not my hobby, but I do find their sense of humor pretty funny. Here’s my favorite funny font video:
