About the Item

This gorgeous set of two rare vintage key ring chain figures is a distinctive and highly collectible design by renowned industrial designer Luigi Colani, created for Dresdner Bank, Germany. Made in Europe circa the 1970s, these sculptural pieces reflect Colani’s iconic organic forms and futuristic aesthetic that defined much of his work during the era. Their fluid lines and bold design make them stand out as both functional objects and miniature works of art. The figures are made of molded rubber and are each fitted with an original metal chain and key ring. The dimensions listed reflect the full height measured from the figure’s feet to the end of the metal ring; the figure itself measures approximately 1 inch high, emphasizing its compact, miniature scale. Originally produced as promotional or special design items, these figures are increasingly difficult to find, particularly as a matching set. They carry strong mid-century modern and Space Age appeal, making them ideal for collectors of vintage design, advertising memorabilia, or Colani’s work. Discovered at an estate sale in Nuremberg, Germany, this pair offers authentic European provenance. Whether displayed, collected, or used as intended, they are a striking addition to any curated vintage or design-focused collection.
