Post-War Zeiss Ikon Design, 1950-60

Zeiss Ikon, Stuttgart, Berlin. Five projectors for 8mm Movilux films; three Movikon 8 film cameras; and a repro and title device with four lamps, electrical functions not tested. - Note: The main Zeiss Ikon plant in Dresden (the Soviet occupied zone) was expropriated in 1946 and declared a state-owned company (VEB). In the spring of 1948, a new company was founded in West Germany, with offices in Stuttgart, Berlin and Kiel. The new narrow-format film cameras were designed to break from the old tradition of the boxy black film camera. At the beginning of the 1950s, the housings of the 8mm Movilux projectors were semi-circular and could compete with any Parisian woman's handbag in a variety of colors. The Movikon 8 and Movinette 8 film cameras were offered as accessories in landscape format, with the color-schemes brown, green and grey. The complete set would be perfectly at home in a design museum.
