Exquisite Cartography
The map is printed on a high-resolution plotter and meticulously hand-applied to the seamless crystal sphere.

Each globe requires 40 hours of dedicated craftsmanship, resulting in its noble size, refined elegance, and exceptional quality—a true testament to German engineering and artistry.

DUO Map System

• Political Map (Unlit): Displays countries in carefully matched colors for clear distinction.

• Physical Map (Lit): Reveals mountains, tectonic plates, plains, and sea beds with astonishing relief effects.

The map is manually adjusted on a blown crystal sphere that is seamless and highly luminous. When illuminated, the relief effect is truly breathtaking. Columbus goes beyond simply printing globes—they strive for an incredibly deep, flawless shine. This process begins in their state-of-the-art cleanroom, where only superior acrylic sheets are used. Strict protocols prohibit the use of paper to avoid introducing fine dust particles that could interfere with printing. Up to 24 successive layers of color are applied, with curing, inspection, and cleaning after each layer. Once complete, a high-gloss clear coat is applied across the entire map before final inspection by their cartographic experts.

This meticulous process ensures unmistakable Columbus cartography—a true splendor of elegance.
