Royal Floor Hand-laid 40cm Illuminated Globe

A stunning floor globe with ultra-modern styling.

The Royal 40cm floor globe is part of the visually impressive illuminated globe range by Columbus, made in Germany. Standing at 120cm and showcasing up-to-date cartography and featuring incredible dual mapping. When unlit the warm yellow 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 simply incredible mountain relief detail.

All focus of this visually impactful 40cm diameter globe will be drawn to the globe ball, as the minimalist design of the gold coloured 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 Royal has shipping routes highlighted as with many globes but interestingly also has the distance of the complete shipping route.

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

A great example of German manufacturing.
