Columbus Duo

Illuminated globe with acrylic glass sphere Ø 51 cm, hand-laminated, standing model, stainless steel design. Since its introduction over 70 years ago, the DUO has been the epitome of the two-in-one principle: when unlit, the map clearly displays individual countries, and once the LED lighting is turned on, the intricate print makes the physical representation even more visible - featuring detailed topography and three-dimensional elevations. Printed with a fine 120-line screen process, even the smallest texts are crystal clear and sharp, including details such as railway and shipping routes as well as cold and warm ocean currents. The result: excellent readability and color fidelity. The sturdy detail: a globe needs a solid base to fully showcase its impact. With the Regent base design, the standing model rests on a flat-edged large stainless steel base and rotates in a stainless steel meridian. This allows you to engage with our Earth at eye level. By using the new COLUMBUS Explorer Pen, the school globe gains a digital surface. When you bring the pen tip close to the globe's surface, you can access information about capitals, areas, flags, population numbers, and even life expectancy. A total of five different categories can be selected: Country Information, Interesting Facts, National Anthems, Quiz, and Country-Specific Videos.
