ABOUT PRODUCTID 17508
The Ken-A-Vision microprojector from the 1950s stands as an emblem of British mid-century modern industrial design. The body is crafted almost entirely from smooth, polished aluminum, unified in a single cool, silvery tone with a mirrored, high-gloss finish. Streamlined, organic curves form a slender central column, bifurcated feet for stability, and a gently contoured projector head with rounded vent openings—elements that blend aerodynamics with delicate biomorphic and lingering Art Deco influences. Functional features like lens, clamps, and mechanical arms showcase precise engineering, while mounting points and screws are largely hidden or seamlessly incorporated into the silhouette. The surface retains its clarity without patina, oxidation, or visible grain, allowing the metal to reflect its surroundings. The original manufacturer’s label remains affixed near the base, with a discreet cloth-wrapped power cord extending from one side. Condition is described as very good—minor surface scratches, typical for its age, are present but without significant damage or repairs.This microprojector’s form resonates with the optimism and futuristic ambition of the postwar era. Its sculptural geometry evokes a time when technology was synonymous with hope and order—a device equally at home in a scientific laboratory or a cinematic imagining of tomorrow. The aluminum body captures and scatters light across the room, as if quietly narrating tales of a world eager for progress, structure, and industrial elegance.The Ken-A-Vision projector can be displayed as a focal sculptural accent in a collectors’ or modernist interior. It pairs well with geometric glass or metal console tables, lacquered sideboards, or minimalist mid-century furniture. It offers a striking contrast alongside shiny
