Sculptures for a Wall Unit / The Xawery Dunikowski Museum of Sculpture in Królikarnia

Ceramic penguins, monkeys, strongmen and sex bomb figurines adorned wall units in Polish flats for the entire duration of the communist era. These remarkable porcelain “chamber sculptures” caused quite a sensation abroad and continue to delight design enthusiasts to this day. Their designs were created in the mid-1950s at the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw, by a team of designers comprising: Henryk Jędrasiak, Mieczysław Naruszewicz, Hanna Orthwein and Lubomir Tomaszewski.
