A perfectly Space Age telephone that brings a vision of what the fututre looked like in the 1970s to any interior. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss Associates for Western Electric in 1979, this iconic Telstar model features a sleek cylindrical form with a weighted roll-top smoked acrylic cover and retractable handset cord. Named after the 1962 satellite, the sculptural design embodies the era's optimism about technology and the future.
Part of AT&T's innovative "Design Line" collection launched in 1973, the Telstar was marketed as "modern sculpture" for forward-thinking individuals. Dreyfuss Associates' bold approach transformed everyday telecommunications into a statement piece that functions equally well as décor or conversation starter. Perfect for collectors of vintage technology or mid-century modern enthusiasts.
