WONKEY DONKEY

Designed in 1939 by Egon Riss, the Penguin Donkey is a much sought after piece of modern design.
Only 100 of the original design were made.
Designed to house about 80 Penguin paperbacks with a central well to hold magazines and newspapers, the design was named the “donkey” because of its four legs and two panniers. The original donkey was advertised in every Penguin paperback but production ceased shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1963 Ernest Race designed this version -  The Isokon Penguin Donkey Mark II and this piece comes with the original factory sticker. For more information please contact geoff@kirkmodern.com

RADIO DAYS

Once you bring the radio outside.... there's no telling where the fun will end! This fab portable transistor radio from Decca, the Debonette, was made in 1961. Finished in beautiful cream leather, this model was the follow up to the "Gay & Carefree" Debonnaire. A design classic that would look great displayed in any retro setting. POA info@kirkmodern.com
