Plastic wall cabinet, model SS/KS 030 – Made in GDR, in good used condition with minor signs of wear.
Description from the seller
This wall-mounted DDR/GDR cabinet module is a striking example of the functional plastic design of the 1970s–1980s and was originally produced as export goods in the GDR.
The cabinet body consists of sturdy plastic and is complemented by two bold yellow, high-gloss plastic doors. These convey an intense, vivid color effect with a smooth glossy surface and give the cabinet a strong visual presence – typical of the color-focused design of late-GDR-era export products.
Inside the cabinet is divided into two separate compartments. Each compartment features a removable, dark gray-tinted, transparent plastic shelf with a ribbed surface that can be mounted at different heights. The side guide rails are securely integrated into the cabinet body with a positive fit. The doors are attached using original, integrated plastic hinges and close flush.
On the back is the original manufacturer's imprint:
Model SS/KS 030 – Made in GDR
This marking clearly confirms production in the GDR as well as the version intended for the export market.
state
This cabinet module is in good, age-appropriate condition. There are authentic signs of use, including fine scratches, slight color differences, and age-related patination that emphasize the original character. No cracks, no structural damage. The doors exhibit a strong, even shine.
An original GDR export object with a clear design language – ideal as a bathroom, kitchen, or wall cabinet, as well as a decorative collectible for lovers of East Modernism, Space Age aesthetics, and the industrial plastic design of the 1970s/1980s.
An honest, unadulterated testimony of its era, with a strong color impact and a clear purpose.
