This globe is the result of a successful collaboration between designers, cartographers and glass-blowers. The map is adjusted manually on a blown crystal sphere that is seamless and highly luminous. Columbus is the only manufacturer in the world to produce those world-famous crystal globes.
The Duo map: The political map (switched off) shows the various countries of the earth in many matched colours. The physical map (switched on) shows the mountains, the plates, the plains and sea-beds. The impression of relief shown by the illuminated map is really astonishing.
Features - We dont just print our globes; we strive to create an incredibly deep, flawless shine. - It all starts in our state-of-the-art clean printing room, where our craftsmen work just with superior acrylic sheets. - Bringing in all kind of papers is strictly forbidden, because it would bring in fine paper dust particles which could later be attracted in the printing process. - Printing up to 18 successive layers of colors, theres a curing process between each layer, along with an inspection and careful cleaning. - Once the printing is complete, a high gloss clear coat layer is applied over the entire map, than it is sent back for inspection to our cartographic department.
