The 13-inch Kempten Illuminated Desktop Globe by Columbus Globes boasts a sumptuous blue ocean color set against a rich wooden base. The narrow, minimally styled stainless steel semi-meridian frames the 13-inch globe, which stands 17 inches tall on its Makassar wood stand. The combination of the brown-hued base, silver meridian and blue waters gives this world globe an unmistakably elegant design.

The Kempten features Columbus' innovative DUO map technology. When the desktop globe is unlit, a political map is displayed on the surface of the sphere, showing the divisions of nations on the landmasses in different, complementary pastel shades. Additional cartographic information, such as ocean currents and shipping lanes, along with many place names, is also depicted on the map. However, when the globe is illuminated, hints of a physical map come alive on its surface, adding a new dimension to the viewing experience.

The Columbus Kempten Illuminated Desktop Globe 13 Inch boasts the latest DUO map technology, but it is also a product of traditional artisanal construction. The map on the globe's surface was hand cut and applied by skilled craftspeople, in a labor-intensive process. Despite its state-of-the-art technology, this world globe is also a work of art. The elegant design of the Kempten makes it a perfect addition to any home or office. Whether displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or coffee table, this artistic globe is sure to fascinate anyone who sees it.
