Illuminated globe with acrylic sphere, Ø 40 cm, hand-coated, stainless steel mounting.
Water covers 71 percent of our planet. The Pacific Ocean is larger than the area of all continents taken together. Actually, our planet should be called Water instead of Earth. The DUO AZZURRO immerses itself in the beauty of the oceans. Non-illuminated, one sinks into the deep blue of the seas, and the continents' radiant blue shading creates accentuations. Illuminated, the globe reveals the sight of the oceans' entire ground structure: Depths, sea basins, volcanoes, and seamounts as high as the Alps. Honored with the Book Award of the travel fair ITB 2016, the AZZURRO offers depth in the literal sense.
The classic and elegant yet puristic sparkling mounting obtains its dimly glimmering shine through a special stainless steel finish. This product of great manual skill transforms your globe into an expression of a particular quality of life, which will continue to bring you joy for decades.

Bei kaschierten Globen wird das in 12 Segmente untergliederte Kartenbild von Hand aufgeklebt.
Diese Art der Aufbringung wird bei den Kartenbildern DUO™ -, DUORAMA™ , ROYAL™, DUO ALBA™, BLACK SERIES™, IMPERIAL™ und DUO AZZURRO™angewendet.
Unsere traditionell gefertigten Globen sind mit Acrylglaskugeln oder mundgeblasenen Kristallglaskugeln erhältlich.
Das Kartenbild wird im Offset-Druckverfahren auf speziellem Papier gedruckt.
Es besticht durch brillante Farben kombiniert mit höchster Detailtreue.
Die hochfeine Auflösung bewirkt, dass der Rasterpunkt für das menschliche Auge so gut wie nicht mehr sichtbar ist.
Hinweis für Fachleute: Columbus Globen werden mit einem 90er Raster gedruckt, während im Wettbewerb in der Regel ein 60er Raster verwendet wird.
The coating of our globes is done by hand. This technique is used for the
DUO™ -, DUORAMA™ , ROYAL™, DUO ALBA™, BLACK SERIES™, IMPERIAL™ and DUO AZZURRO™ globes.
The maps are produced by using the offset printing method on special paper that impresses with brilliant colors and high details.
Due to the high resolution, it is almost impossible to notice the grid point with the human eye.
For experts: A 90 point grid is used for our Columbus globes which distinguishes them from competing products which are usually produced by using a 60 point grid technique.
