The Columbus Duorama globe combines many rare features to create a truly premium desk globe. The globe ball itself is 16" (40cm) in diameter making it in the largest category of desk globes available.

The cartography is totally up to date and shows physical mapping when the light is off. Physical mapping shows the deserts, forests and mountainous regions in great detail. The globe also features several thousand place names that should be large enough for any well sighted person to read, another benefit of a 16" globe ball.

When the light is on the you can make out the borders of different countries as the land masses change colour. This is called dual mapping, and on this globe, is a subtle but attractive effect.

The base and meridian are made of steel and the ball is made of heavy duty vinyl. This globe is illuminated via a cable and looks fantastic in a moderately dark room.

A new way to interact with your globe.

The Columbus interactive pen is fully compatible with every Columbus product. Any globe that is called Duo, Duorama, Azzurro or Royal on JustGlobes will come to life with the addition of the Columbus pen.

At approximately the same width as a highlighter pen and with a rubber grip, the interactive pen is easily held. Simply touch the globe to hear fascinating information about that place or area. Countries, rivers, seas and oceans are all full of information waiting to be told.

In the box with the interactive pen is a small card which, when touched with the pen, changes the information unlocked on the globe’s surface. Choose between general information, national anthems or videos. When you download the Columbus Video Pen app and touch “video” on the card, the interactive pen will unlock YouTube videos that play on your smartphone.

When selecting “National Anthems” on the card, the pen will play selected national anthems for you.

The volume can be changed on the pen or headphones can plug directly to the pen for silent usage.

The pen is charged just like a smartphone and comes with a USB-USB C cable. Once charged the interactive pen lasts for many hours and holds charge for months.

Worried about writing on a globe being too small? The interactive pen will read it to you.

Want to improve your knowledge for your next pub quiz or family game night? The pen will teach you.

The Columbus interactive pen is a great premium addition to our range, presented in minimalist packaging that will inspire people of all ages to explore our world.

A great example of German manufacturing.
