ABOUT PRODUCTID 32638
This decorative hourglass from the 1970s is a striking example of modernist and space-age design sensibility. Its rectangular prism body is crafted from translucent, colored plexiglass in a vivid, warm orange shade, finished to a high gloss that subtly refracts light along the edges and enhances tonal depth. Encapsulated within is a sculptural double hourglass rendered in metallic gold, its smooth, reflective surface offering a bold contrast to the transparent exterior. The construction is seamless, with no visible joints or fasteners, adding to the monolithic, solid-block impression of the piece. The object is preserved in very good condition, showing no visible scratches, chips, or signs of wear; all surfaces are intact and free from restoration marks. The listed price refers to a single piece. This object channels the spirit of its time through pure color and light: the saturated orange plexiglass echoes the optimistic energy of the 1970s, when designers embraced plastics and bold tones. The suspended gold element inside appears as a miniature sculpture frozen in time—an emblem of both futuristic vision and playful form. Its minimalist lines and glossy surfaces evoke a nostalgia for the space-age era, when every detail was intended to be both daring and inviting. The hourglass could serve as an accent on a console or shelf in a mid-century modern living space, or within an eclectic, collector’s interior. It would pair well with Murano glass, minimalist ceramics, or original 1970s posters, and could also provide contrast in a room dominated by natural wood and neutral shades. One might combine it with other geometric forms to highlight its sculptural quality, or use it as a single, bold splash of color within the arrangement.
