This desk plane model from the 1950s stands as an example of precise craftsmanship and the functional aesthetics of mid-century modern design. Crafted primarily from polished aluminum and set upon an oval base of black lacquered wood or bakelite, the model presents a streamlined, geometrically-reduced jet silhouette mounted on a gently arched aluminum rod, lending the piece a sense of movement and lightness.

The overall palette is dominated by metallic silver with a highly reflective finish, contrasting with the deep black of the base. The proportions are harmonious, with each transition and join executed cleanly; there are no visible screws or crude connections. Ornamentation has been consciously omitted, highlighting the modernist, function-driven approach of the era. The model’s Polish origin is evident in
