General information

Illuminated globe with acrylic sphere, Ø 40 cm, hand coated, OID compatible.


Enhanced with about 240 sparkling Swarovski® Zirconia, this globe turns into a very special piece. The brilliant-cut decorative stones mark the metropolises of our world and provide a strikingly glamorous turn on any cartographic parquet.

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 classic and elegant yet puristic sparkling mounting obtains its dimly glimmering shine through a special stainless steel finish - or you prefer a mounting made of mirror-finished massive brass. Whatever you decide: 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.
