The Rothenburg Illuminated Desktop Globe by Columbus Globes is an essential model due to its visually appealing design and educational geography. Measuring 16 inches in diameter, the blue ocean globe sits 20 inches high on a stainless steel base and is held at a 23.5 degree tilt by a thin, minimally styled half meridian. The modern design of the Rothenburg highlights the world globe's exceptional cartography.
The Columbus desktop globe features the company's signature DUO map. When the light is off, the blue ocean political map is displayed, with the pastel-colored countries on the landmasses standing out against the blue ocean background. However, when the light switch is turned on, some of the Earth's physical features are highlighted on the globe's surface.
The Columbus Rothenburg Illuminated Desktop Globe is handcrafted by skilled artisans using the company's signature DUO map. The map is manually cut into gores and then precisely glued to the acrylic sphere. The artisanal nature of this process makes each model unique and memorable. This 16-inch globe is packed with cartographic value and its modern yet classic style makes it an irresistible addition to any home or office.
