“These cubic cardboard ornaments are just the thing for an atomic holiday. Designed in 1956 by Van der Lancken and Lundquist and manufactured by Norse Craft, Inc., they were exhibited the next year at the 3rd annual American Package Design Competition held at Cooper Union. A modern take on traditional Christmas ornaments, these playful prisms were sold as a set of twelve, collapsed in their cardboard storage box. They were marketed as unbreakable, flameproof, washable, and able to be folded up in just seconds. Infused with mid-century charm, each ornament presents a different geometric design printed in bright colors on gold foil. Triangles, squares, starbursts and grids play across the cubes; no two sides are exactly alike. The ornaments evoke atomic optimism with abstracted snowflake shapes and bold colors not traditionally employed in holiday décor.”
