Not made in China
Why is this important?
Cartography that is printed on globes exported from China may show manipulated land borders and island territories that are not recognised by the United Nations and western countries. China subsidise globe manufacturing to make them cheaper to buy and this is used to increase China's 'soft power'.

We only supply globes with cartography that is printed in Europe or the United States which accurately reflect our world.

Perhaps the perfect-sized desk globe.

The Royal 40cm desktop 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 warm yellow globe shows political mapping, with countries defined by colour. When lit the cartography transforms to show the physical mapping, with an impressive 3D textured mountain effect and rivers that come to life with vibrant detail. The hand-laid map, depicts ocean floor detail with subtle markings in the oceans.

All focus of this visually impactful 40cm diameter globe will be drawn to the globe ball, as the minimalist design of the gold colour gloss steel base and meridian helps only to enhance the globe’s brilliance. The southern hemisphere can be seen reflected in the high gloss base. 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.
