An unusual globe with time zones

A modern illuminated globe illustrating the concept of day and night — literally. The luminous point indicates the sunlit zone — where the sun is shining, and then a shadow forms at noon!

The Columbus company was founded in 1909 in Germany and is the oldest manufacturer of globes in the world.

Innovative products from this company are among the best-selling in Europe.

All globes are handcrafted in Germany, and Columbus is the only manufacturer producing hand-blown globes.

Collaboration with the most outstanding artists and artisans in cartography, as well as in wood and glass decoration, attests to the brand’s excellence.

In addition to hand-blown globes, the brand offers elegant vacuum globes, also made in Germany.

Columbus vs. other manufacturers?

A labor-intensive printing and curing process on 24 layers of paper until achieving the perfect appearance. Then, strict cleaning procedures and applying a protective layer on the globe.

The entire process is closely guarded and checked after processing by a team of cartographers!

We are pleased to present an extraordinary collection of Columbus desk globes.

Desk globes?

Increasingly, glass globes can be seen on desks in elegant offices, study rooms, or designer salons.

A stylish globe indicates the prestige of the place where it is located and, as a desk decoration, also draws attention.

Quality craftsmanship

Globes from Germany, produced for over 100 years, are handcrafted with the utmost precision and attention to detail.

Hand-blown glass and cartographic maps carefully applied with attention to every detail create perfect and highly original desk products.

In our extensive offer, you will find a wide range of globes in various sizes, both standing and smaller desk models.

We also offer educational globes for children!
