This was a minor detour while working on another project. The Globe can be used as compact furniture. How I designed this: I employed Cinema4D as my tool of choice. The stand is a straightforward Spline in a Lathe object, the globe is a bump map of the earth in a Displacer Deformer. Here are the links to the maps I used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation#/media/File:Srtm_ramp2.world.21600x10800.jpg http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.php?id=73934
