Gábor Kovács
Globemaker
What does it mean to hold the world in your hands in an age when maps live on our screens? Gábor Kovács is a Hungarian globemaker who left a career in software development and search marketing to revive the rare craft of hand-made globe making in his studio. Blending cartographic precision with artistic storytelling, he creates bespoke, hand-painted globes that can highlight personal journeys, meaningful places, or even imagined worlds. Through his work he reminds us that geography is not just data but experience, and that rediscovering the physical world can reshape how we relate to exploration, curiosity, and our own stories.
