Furniture
Many people picture East Bloc countries during the Cold War as drab and gray, but everyday interior design there was hardly less colorful or modern than in the capitalist West. In hindsight, the parallels between objects from the same period in East and West are more striking than the differences. Modernity, tradition, and kitsch were present on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
Standout pieces in our collection include colorfully decorated kidney tables and plant stands, and the Garden Egg Chair by Hungarian designer Peter Ghyczy. Ghyczy sold his design to a West German company, which had the chair produced in East Germany, an interesting example of Cold War cultural exchange.
