Duo Floor Hand-laid 51cm Illuminated Globe

Perhaps the pinnacle of the Columbus range.

The Duo 51cm floor globe is part of the visually impressive illuminated globe range by Columbus, made in Germany. Standing at 150cm tall and showcasing up-to-date cartography and featuring incredible dual mapping. When unlit the deep blue globe shows political mapping, with countries defined by pale colours allowing the boundaries to be easily distinguished. When lit physical features appear allowing the user to see almost 3D textured mountains. Importantly, this subtle effect achieves the effect of dual mapping without the beautiful cartography being diminished. The hand-laid map depicts incredible ocean floor detail with striking shades of pale blue.

All focus of this visually impactful 51cm diameter globe will be drawn to the globe ball, as the minimalist design of the steel base, stem and meridian helps only to enhance the globe’s brilliance. This globe is illuminated via a cable and looks fantastic lit up in a moderately dark room. Perfect for evenings in.

This range features small details that aren’t available on other models for example the Duo shows ocean floor detail such as the Mariana trench in incredible shades of pale blue.

We would recommend looking at all the images to appreciate the textures of the dual mapping.

A great example of German manufacturing.
