Trabant - the first automobile of the Velchevsky family and a design icon of the socialist East. Maxim Velčovský gave the Trabant the form of an emotional porcelain toy with the function of a candlestick. It can serve as a reminder of the old times, an exorcism for the owner of the bakelite original, but in a few examples it can also be used in the sense of a children's situational game and to stage a wandering around the room, a parking lot, a traffic jam or a crash.
design: Maxim Velčovský, 2007
material: porcelain
dimensions: 7 x 17 x 7 cm
