Columbus Floor globe Duo 51cm (English) (18144)

The Columbus Duo Globe is a stunning combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology. Its map image achieves its characteristic brilliance through a meticulous 24-stage printing process, resulting in vibrant colors when illuminated and harmonious tones for the political map. The globe provides an unrivaled wealth of up-to-date information, including mountains, tectonic plates, plains, and sea beds on the physical map (illuminated), as well as countries displayed in matched colors on the political map (unilluminated). Each map is manually 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 hand-papered cartography technique has been mastered exclusively by Columbus and passed down through generations. Its stately size, flawless shine, and extraordinary quality make it a unique masterpiece that is impossible to replicate.
