Perfection in Detail

Pure-Functional Aesthetic
The classically elegant fork base is crafted from high-grade brushed stainless steel, blending functionality with timeless beauty.

Stunning Cartography
The map of the Magnum is printed on a high-resolution plotter and hand-covered onto the sphere. To achieve a flawless glare, the map is exclusively laser-printed. Each globe requires 40 hours of dedicated craftsmanship to ensure its noble size, plain elegance, and unmatched quality—representing German craftsmanship and technology at its finest.

The Duo Map

• Political Map (Unilluminated): Displays countries in harmonized colors for a clear and detailed political view.

• Physical Map (Illuminated): Reveals mountains, tectonic plates, plains, and sea beds with astonishing realism.

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

Columbus globes are crafted with an incredibly deep and flawless shine in their 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, followed by curing, inspection, and cleaning between each layer. A high-gloss clear coat is applied to enhance brilliance before final inspection by the cartographic department.

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