The race to the moon between the USA and the USSR dominated the entire decade of the moon landing. The infinite expanse of outer space became ever more prominent in the public consciousness: Atomic energy, space travel, rockets promised a hopeful future. The design of everyday objects was also caught up in this movement, and not only cars, but also radios, TV sets and much more were designed with the dynamic, skyward-striving forms of the future in mind. The cufflinks on display here, dating from around 1970, are also forward-looking and expressive. Simple bars with silver toggles each present a natural pyrite specimen as a showpiece. The naturally grown mineral, which is also known as fool's gold and has a metallic shimmer, is only held on the back so that the showpieces consist solely of pyrite. The unique composition impresses with its natural asymmetry and nature's will to shape. With its mysterious shapes, the pair is both attractive and strange at the same time. A pair of surprising and unusual companions from the era of the moon landing.
