Illuminated floor globe made of crystal glass Ø 51 cm, mouth-blown, hand-coated.
Since its introduction over 70 years ago, the DUO symbolizes the two-in-one principle: Non-illuminated, the map shows different countries, illuminated, the complex print additionally reveals the physical image - with detailed topography and seemingly three-dimensional elevations.
A complex 120 halftone printing process ensures that even the smallest writings are crystal clear and sharply depicted, down to details like railway and shipping routes and even cold and warm ocean currents. The result: Excellent readability and color fidelity.
The steadfast detail: A globe needs firm support to develop its full appeal. With the Harmonie foot design, the floor model rests on a solid fine wood fork foot made of stained walnut and rotates in a stainless steel meridian graded on both sides, which makes the globe swivel and rotate at the same time.

Diese Art der Aufbringung wird bei den Kartenbildern DUO™ -, DUORAMA™ , ROYAL™, DUO ALBA™ und DUO AZZURRO™angewendet.
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.
