ABOUT PRODUCTID 18628
The 'Osiołek' glass desk organizer, designed by Czesław Zuber for Huta Sudety in Poland in the 1970s, features a sculptural, organically shaped bowl crafted from thick, heavy glass in a deep ruby red with subtle transparency. Light softly filters through the high-gloss surface, creating an interplay of crimson shades and subtle reflections. The organizer’s form is distinguished by undulating, wave-like divisions that separate the rim into three distinct troughs, giving the piece both decorative appeal and utility. A thin black outline at the base frames the rich red and ensures visual definition. This construction allows for practical sorting of office accessories or jewelry, while the striking color and bold silhouette reflect the artistic ambitions of Polish mid-century modern glass. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear; the original glossy finish has been preserved, with the piece remaining in very good condition.This organizer carries the spirit of the 1970s—a period when Polish glassmaking explored bold experiments with form, color, and light. Its wavy separations recall abstract color fields, and the deep ruby hue suggests the glow of vintage clubs or a collector’s passion in the era of the People’s Republic of Poland. The heavy, biomorphic design speaks to a longing for tactile, sensual forms, offering a glimpse into a time when functional art was woven into everyday life.The 'Osiołek' organizer can be displayed with a mid-century wooden desk or a sleek modern console, allowing the ruby glass to stand out against neutral or warm backgrounds. It pairs well with geometric lighting, chrome accents, or 1960s–70s ceramics. In a mid-century modern interior, it can serve as a visual anchor on a shelf or sideboard, or as a counterpoint in a curated living room filled with collectible glass and porcelain.
