The sizes compared
11.5 cm (4.5 in) — for desk and shelf
The most popular entry size. Fits on any desk and is the classic among gifts.
15 cm (6 in) — the living-room focal point
The best balance of presence and price. On the sideboard it draws every eye.
21.5 cm (8.5 in) — the statement
For reception areas and executive offices. The rotating presence of this size is striking — popular as a corporate gift too.
The rule of thumb
- Surface less than 30 cm deep → 11.5 cm
- Viewed mostly from over 2 m away → from 15 cm
- As a gift → 11.5 cm is the safest choice
For the design: the globe with clouds is the bestseller.
