A gift from heaven: our blue planet in your living room
And why this globe is one of the best in the world.
Simply heavenly: here comes a globe that shows the Earth in its true nature. Round, intensely blue – and you can touch it. The Cloumbus DUO globe combines both: an atmospheric ambience and a wealth of knowledge at a glance.
The highlights at a glance:
- 30 cm duo globe with hand-carved map image
- Physically illuminated, unlit political
- Lighting creates an elegant look: for a cosy atmosphere in the evening

Columbus DUO: decoration for your home...
With a diameter of 30 centimetres, the Columbus DUO globe is a real gem on any desk or in the living room. Its intense blue colour scatters an indirect and warm light. Perfect for a cosy evening in the cold season.
... and knowledge about the world – with 4,400 entries
The Columbus DUO offers an up-to-date and highly detailed map image. When unlit, it shows the political borders. You can see everything at a glance: the countries are separated from each other in harmonious colours.
Where are which countries? Where are the mountains and valleys? The illuminated globe shows a physical map. This view shows you a universe full of information and structures. This makes the globe look almost like a view from space. All combined with brilliant colour gradients.
DUO Globe: Quality through craftsmanship
If you ask yourself: What is so special about this globe? Then the answer is quite simple. The manufacturer Columbus has been crafting globes since 1909. The DUO globe is made of acrylic glass and hand-carved maps. Experts combine the maps with the sphere with great care.
Sharper than other globes
Unlike other manufacturers, the DUO globe has a high-quality print resolution with a 90-dot grid. For your globe, this means that the image is sharp and the text is clear. And thanks to the hand-carved maps, it stays that way.
Expandable: how the globe talks to you
DUO globes can do even more: with the audio-video pen from Columbus or the TING pen, the globe learns to talk. Simply hold the pen over the corresponding country and listen. You'll learn a lot about other continents and cultures along the way.
Want to give someone a special gift? Then the DUO Globe 30 cm is just the thing. A heavenly gift for the home.
