BUSINESS LINE - Unique, imparts knowledge, broadens horizons, demonstrates cosmopolitanism.
Patience, experience and traditional knowledge – carefully crafted by hand – are the hallmarks of the MAGNUM. Its masterful craftsmanship and impressive size make it an expression of exceptional quality of life.
PERFECTION IN DETAIL: The unique relief shading and the cartography, designed with great attention to detail, invite the viewer to touch it.
PURISTIC, FUNCTIONAL AESTHETICS: The classically elegant base, in this model as a column base, gets its matt sheen from a very special stainless steel finish. The globe is suspended at an angle of 23° in a classic half-meridian.
HAND LAMINATION: The MAGNUM is laminated by hand. This technique, passed down from generation to generation, is now only mastered by COLUMBUS Verlag worldwide. The wealth of information offered by the MAGNUM prevents it from being reduced to a mere decorative object. The many hours of work, passion and craftsmanship required to produce it, its impressive size, simple elegance and unique quality make it something very special – unique and inimitable.
When unlit, the DUO map shows the current political situation on our planet. Thanks to clear and harmonious colouring, all countries can be clearly distinguished from their neighbours.
When illuminated, the physical image of the Earth becomes visible. Mountain ranges, ocean depths, ocean trenches and much more can be seen.
The entire DUO map image impresses with its unrivalled wealth of information, which is optimally legible thanks to a variety of carefully selected fonts and symbols.
This perfect interplay of form and function is achieved not least by the exceptionally high number of 24 printing passes carried out when printing the DUO map image.
