Maker & History
Acrylic and Plexiglass became defining materials of Space Age interiors during the 1960s and 1970s, prized for their transparency, saturated colour and ability to form crisp geometric shapes. Even unsigned desk accessories like this one reflect the period’s fascination with futuristic plastics and graphic office design.

Why we love it

Sourced by Marina

I love the clear plexiglass and the graphic black details, which give it a playful Space Age feel. It is a simple object, but the transparency and geometry make it surprisingly sculptural.
