Duorama Floor Hand-laid 40cm Illuminated Globe

A stunning floor globe with ultra-modern styling.

The Duorama 40cm floor globe is part of the visually impressive illuminated globe range by Columbus, made in Germany. Showcasing up-to-date cartography and featuring incredible dual mapping. When unlit the rich blue globe shows physical mapping, with countries defined by thin black dashes allowing the user to focus fully on the yellow deserts, green forests and almost 3D textured mountains. When lit the cartography subtly changes to show political mapping, with country colours changing slightly, making countries more clearly defined. 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 rich blue.

All focus of this visually impactful 40cm 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 Duroama shows ocean rock formations rising up from the ocean floor to become the Canary Islands and Cape Verde. For physical detail and pure beauty this globe is hard to ignore.

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

A great example of German manufacturing.
