Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Earth is filled with dreams of travel and adventure with each continent offering myriad natural treasures. Earth also inspires the art of Bruno Gecko as he designs a fabulous globe of the world. The globe is hand-carved from a single piece of suar wood, with the oceans finished with colored sand. It takes several weeks to complete the elaborate carving process of a single globe. Artisan Info: "Who as a child never held a globe in his or her hands? For me, a globe of the world is a symbol of childhood dreams. I traveled all over the world, but once I came to Bali on holidays, I decided to get established here. "I decided to start my own venture, and though I have a background in publicity, I started creating in wood. My name is Bruno and since my first creation was a gecko, I became known as Bruno Gecko. "I don't believe in machines and machine work. I'm only interested in human relations and the human factor when creating and producing. To me, the human dimension is the most important aspect of my work, so I have gathered a great team of master carvers that guarantees the human element in my work. "I only create things that remain through time, objects that can pass from one generation to another, such as these wonderful globes, which are full of dreams."
