This Sarenka chair was mass-produced until the 1980s and was a staple in most households and preschools. Some of these chairs were then exported and the design spread around the world.

Below is a photo of the most valuable piece in the exhibition.

Produced by the INCO United household group in Warsaw, Ludwik detergent was known to keep dishes clean and shiny. It first appeared on the Polish market in 1964 and the first version was available in a mint version in a 250 ml glass bottle with a decorative label. In 1971 the shape and color of the cap were changed. In the mid-1990s, all Ludwik bottles had a multicolored print on modern French screens. In 2004 Ludwik was refreshed again … the shape of the bottle and the graphic design were changed … and so on. This bottle has really changed over time. The value is unknown. And I’ve never been so excited about soap.

Another piece that I found very interesting and entertaining was the one from 1963 Bambino gramophone, also known as a turntable, yes millennia! … a real turntable. Isn’t it cute? The name Bambino (baby) comes from Italy and this music box was extremely popular. It only played records and weighed no more than 8 kg, which made it portable. The sound quality was not the best, but it guaranteed a good old time.

This Massada frame (Picture below) are round with a classic shape … which means … it will never go out of style. Glasses are an everyday necessity, not just an accessory … well, for me anyway. Unusual and cool Katarzyna uses special techniques to design her sunglasses with a non-strategic twist by this artist with a cool feeling forever.
