Product description
This is a therapeutic turtle designed by the German designer Renate Müller. The piece is an iconic example of children's toy design from the GDR era, known for its robustness and educational value.
Made in Germany, the turtle's body is made of durable jute fabric, while the shell is crafted from colorful leather segments in red, white, and blue, reminiscent of a soccer ball pattern. The underside is fitted with a single red leather piece. These materials were specifically chosen to appeal to the tactile sense while providing a durable play surface.
The object is in very good condition, corresponding to its age and original function. The colors are vibrant and the structure is intact, preserving the character and authenticity of this vintage design classic.
As a versatile piece, this turtle can serve as seating, a toy, or a striking decorative object in a child's room or a design-oriented living space. It seamlessly integrates into Mid-Century Modern or vintage-style interiors.
