More about the series Duorama...
This model is a particular masterpiece of traditional globe manufacturing combined with innovative technology. The manufacturing of a hand-blown 21 inch large crystal glass globe is a true challenge that only a handful of glass artisans worldwide can conquer. This is why it takes many days until the selected materials can be turned into a cartographic and optical masterpiece with a great deal of experience, ability and passion. The cartography is hand-papered. This technique, handed down from generation to generation, has only been mastered by Columbus.
The passion and the craft required to produce this model, its stately size, simple elegance and extraordinary quality make it something truly special - unique and impossible to imitate.
The Duorama map image shows vegetation geography information when unlit. When lit, the political image of our Earth appears with clearly differentiated colours.
When unlit, the physical map image shows you a view of the Earth in unprecedented plasticity. All the shades of the oceans and vegetation zones, rich green tones and brilliant azure blue – discover our breathtaking planet. The hand-drawn, highly refined relief makes the depths of the sea appear almost three-dimensional, even though they cannot be felt.
When illuminated, the political differentiation of the Earth appears. The fine country borders appear in harmoniously coordinated colours. Nevertheless, the depths of the oceans, desert landscapes and forest areas remain intact, as the delicate country borders complement the topographical surface.
