This 1960s Czechoslovakian school model of a diamond molecule embodies educational mid-century modern design. The piece is mounted on a square, matte plastic base in a warm terracotta-brown shade, featuring a white 'DIAMANT' label in retro typography. The molecular structure is composed of glossy, transparent deep burgundy-red elongated beads, matte brown spherical connectors, and smaller, matte blue teardrop and round elements. All components are joined with thin, silvery metal rods to create a precise three-dimensional geometric lattice. The interplay of finishes—from the glassy, high-shine surfaces to powdery, matte textures—reflects the material contrasts characteristic of scientific models of this era. The model remains in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal traces of use on the base and no visible repairs or damage.This skeletal construction echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when the realms of science and education were not only utilitarian but also visually engaging. The model tells the story of an era in which the visualization of molecules was integral to classroom teaching, and modern materials—plastic and metal—symbolized a belief in progress. The transparency of the red beads invokes a fascination with invisible structures, while the matte base recalls the atmosphere of laboratories and schoolrooms where knowledge met design.The model can be displayed on a shelf in a living room, library, or studio, where it becomes an unexpected accent among books, glassware, or modern graphics. It works well alongside simple wooden or metal mid-century modern furniture as well as in eclectic, collector-focused interiors. Pairing it with a minimalist lamp or other scientific objects can highlight its educational and sculptural qualities.
