Some of those who lived through the Soviet era still keep items and equipment marked “Made in the USSR.” People are in no hurry to throw them away because these things are dear to their hearts, they bring back pleasant memories and remind them of their roots.
Today, design in the style of the USSR is rapidly gaining momentum. It has long ceased to be perceived as typical; Soviet design looks impressive. So saved items can add zest to a modern interior and even last for some time.
Radiola
Radiola is a real discovery for the digital generation. If the device is in good working order, it can become the highlight of a retro themed party that will be remembered for a long time.
During the Soviet era, there were probably radios in every home. Soviet electronics were distinguished by such a long service life that they even joked about this, saying that they would withstand a nuclear war.
A radio with legs will fit perfectly into a living room or bedroom. It may be difficult to find a working device, but a broken radio will be suitable for the interior. The device has a solid body, so it can serve as an impressive cabinet or table.
Desk lamp
The Soviet lamp will not only interestingly complement the interior, but will also become an additional source of light. Finding a working table lamp from the USSR era today is not difficult.
In the Union they made high-quality lamps using metal and natural stone.The base of the device was decorated with various figures, and large lampshades remained in fashion for a long time.
It's time to get such a copy if it's gathering dust somewhere in the closet.
Chandelier
The Cascade chandelier was probably my favorite; These decorated almost all houses in the USSR. Often the “pendants” were made of plastic, but they closely imitated crystal, which was visually incomprehensible. “Cascade” was attended by the whole family. The chandelier playfully refracted the light, creating a magical atmosphere in the evening.
“Cascade” is a legendary chandelier that will fit into different modern styles.
If the ceiling of a Soviet horn chandelier has been preserved, you should not get rid of it. A little imagination - and you will get a creative decoration for the room.
Rotary telephone
Such telephones were in every apartment and provided high-quality communications in the USSR. Later, push-button telephones appeared, but rotary telephones did not give up their positions for a long time.
A rotary telephone will create a special atmosphere at home. The device will immerse you in the measured pace of life of a Soviet person who had to patiently turn the dial to contact a subscriber.
Sewing machine
Many Soviet women sewed. Foot-operated sewing machines, which were installed on special stands, were often found in homes.
If you still have a non-working sewing machine, there is no need to quickly get rid of it. Such a device can become an advantageous accent of the interior. A foot-operated sewing machine will make a custom vintage table or cabinet. You just need to remove the device and choose a tabletop in its place, and the retro table is ready.
Things created by Soviet professionals have a nice design and are of good quality.Reliability is a distinctive feature of USSR production, so some devices have retained their functionality to this day. It won't be difficult to find them.
