Nineteenth century experimental physicist Léon Foucault's gyroscope inspired our openwork globe. Its double-gimbal frame is built of iron around a nucleus of upraised lights, an homage to Foucault's study of the earth's rotation.
The model is based on the original manufacturer dimensions and technical data.
Geometry and materials are optimized, the result - a quick and beautiful rendering
