This relief globe is the result of a successful collaboration between designers, cartographers and glass-blowers. The map is adjusted and modeled (relief) 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. We don't 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, there's 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. 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. |

 Established 1909 in Germany, COLUMBUS is the oldest globe manufacturer in the World. COLUMBUS quickly became and continue to be the World's best-selling line of luxury globes ( Chaplin chose in 1940 the Columbus globe "Die Erde" for his world famous film). Popular features such as internal illumination (1948), dual-mapping (1955), the Day and Night Globe (1972) were all innovations introduced by Columbus globes. While being innovators and leaders, Columbus is also focused on preservation of traditional globe manufacturing processes such as the exclusive mouth-blowing of crystal spheres and the hand laminating of cartography. |

I would have expected the article to be near perfection, but there are some imperfections in the adjustment of the map.
I am a bit disappointed with the duorama; there is not much difference between the political & relief map.
but overall still great work of art.
Jean-baptiste L. from Paris (Ile-de-France, France)
The globe itself we are very happy with. However, a bit disappointing for the globe to arrive with a non-compatible power plug.
