Galileo’s Telescope

I bet you never thought you’d see a modern telescope!

Designed by mastermind Galileo Galilei in the 1600s and re-imagined by Milan based designer Odoardo Fioravanti and optical company Palomar, Galileo’s Telescope is the most stylish way to view the stars (or spy on your neighbors!). Made of glass, leather and wood, this telescope is an ancient scientific marvel wrapped in a modern day package.

Galileo’s Telescope is available in the US at GSelect and in the UK at Object & line.
