ABOUT PRODUCTID 17275
This vintage gymnastics horse from 1950s Poland exemplifies the essence of utilitarian postwar modernism. Its design features a solid, rectangular form set atop four steel legs, splayed for stability and finished in an industrial matte grey. The seat, upholstered in taut, seamless natural leather in a deep chestnut-brown hue, showcases a matte surface, soft abrasions, and an irregular, rich patina. Edges are gently rounded, and the proportions balance geometric mass with ergonomic intent. Robust steel rings at the base of each leg include adjustment holes, indicating a facility for height alteration or secure floor anchoring. There are no major damages or signs of modern restoration; the presence of authentic wear—fine scratches, tonal variations, and natural blemishes in the leather—subtly narrates its decades of service. Condition: good, with distinct traces of age and a genuine vintage patina.The object resonates with the everyday reality of postwar Poland: spare, unsentimental premises shaped by a commitment to material durability and straightforward function. Matte leather and industrial steel together tell a story of quiet gym halls, where the gloss of sweat and decades-old routines left their silent testimony. Every scuff or faded spot becomes an archive of practice—a relic whispering, "I have safeguarded the vigor of my age, and still embody the resilience of that era."Its unapologetically industrial form makes this horse a striking accent in loft-style living spaces, gallery-like interiors, or bold contemporary lounges. It could be combined with solid wood furnishings, raw steel shelving, or retro-upholstered armchairs.
