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 Duorama map:
The ground-vegetation map (switched off) shows the earth's surface with the rock-mountains, the forests, the cultivated zones, the savannas, the deserts and in white the polar areas or the glaciers.
The relief impression of the mountains and sea-beds are really astonishing.
The political map (switched on) shows the countries in various colours.
This map offers a new vision of Earth, near to photographic mode. To reinforce its glare, the Duorama map is exclusively assembled on crystal spheres and hand adjusted.
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.
