Columbus Floor globe Duo 51cm German (2331)

The Columbus Duo Globe is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship combined with innovative technology. Its map image achieves its distinct appearance through a meticulous printing process involving up to 24 successive layers of color, each cured, inspected, and cleaned between applications. The illuminated physical map reveals mountains, plains, sea beds, and tectonic plates, while the unilluminated political map displays countries in harmonized colors. This globe is hand-adjusted onto a seamless, hand-blown crystal sphere, ensuring exceptional luminosity and quality.

Crafted in collaboration between designers, cartographers, and glass-blowers, this globe represents the pinnacle of elegance and precision. The manufacturing process involves highly skilled artisans and takes several days to transform selected materials into a cartographic and optical masterpiece. The hand-papered cartography is a technique mastered exclusively by Columbus and passed down through generations. The result is a stately globe that is unique and impossible to replicate.
