Product description
This Huger weather station from West Germany is a striking design from the Space Age era, produced around 1969. Shaped like a Sputnik satellite, the object combines functionality with a distinctive aesthetic characteristic of the fascination with space travel in the late sixties.
The weather station is crafted from chrome-plated metal and transparent acrylic glass, ensuring a clear view of the internal instruments. It contains a barometer, thermometer, and hygrometer, clearly legible on the black and silver dials. The spherical housing is mounted within a rotating ring on a sturdy base, giving the whole a dynamic and sculptural character. The dimensions and use of materials reflect the industrial production techniques of that time.
The object is in good condition, commensurate with its age and use. The chrome-plated surfaces and acrylic glass have retained their original shine, while the instruments display their authentic appearance. The design is structurally intact and retains its visual impact as a collector's item.
This weather station looks excellent in an interior with vintage or retro influences. It functions not only as a practical instrument, but also as a conversation piece on a desk, sideboard, or in a display cabinet.
