Columbus Floor globe Duo Stainless Steel 40cm (French) (18342)

This globe is the result of a remarkable collaboration between designers, cartographers, and glass-blowers. It combines exceptional craftsmanship with innovative technology to create a stunning and functional masterpiece.

The Duo Map

• Political Map (Unilluminated): Displays the countries of the world in harmonized colors, offering a clear and detailed political view.

• Physical Map (Illuminated): Reveals mountains, tectonic plates, plains, and sea beds, providing an astonishingly realistic representation of Earth's physical geography.

The map is manually adjusted onto a hand-blown crystal sphere that is seamless and highly luminous. The illuminated relief impression is truly breathtaking, showcasing Columbus' dedication to precision and detail.

Craftsmanship Excellence

Columbus globes are crafted with an incredibly deep and flawless shine. This process begins in a state-of-the-art 'clean printing room,' where only superior acrylic sheets are used to avoid contamination from paper dust particles. Up to 24 successive layers of color are printed, with curing, inspection, and cleaning performed between each layer. After printing, a high-gloss clear coat is applied over the entire map for added brilliance before final inspection by the cartographic department.

This meticulous process results in unmistakable Columbus cartography—truly a Splendour of Elegance.
