Krups Universal Compact No. 355 – Unused German Food Slicer (1980s) Manufactured by Krups, Solingen, Germany. Model No. 355, 220V. Produced in the 1980s, this Universal Compact slicer represents the refined engineering and minimalist domestic design that characterized late 20th-century German appliances. Crafted with a stainless-steel circular blade made in Solingen – renowned for its cutlery precision – and a foldable compact body that reflects functional modernism. This piece remains in unused, original condition, including its complete packaging, warranty card, and instruction leaflet. The box shows minor wear from storage, but the slicer itself is in immaculate, never-used condition. Beyond its functional purpose, the Universal Compact exemplifies the aesthetic transition from industrial to domestic design in West Germany, where clean geometry and technical rigor merged in everyday appliances. Its preserved state and completeness make it an appealing collector’s piece for those interested in mid-century and industrial kitchen design. #artdeco #industrialstyle #vintage #antique #antiques #vintagedecor #homedecor #interiordesign #decor #vintagefinds #vintagestyle #antiquefurniture #retro #interior #idea #krups #solingen #germandesign #midcenturymodern #kitchenappliance #unused
