Design classic vintage telephone by iskra. You are looking at ETA 80 (Electronic Telephone Apparatus) designed and made in the 80s. This stylish domestic appliance was designed by Davorin Savnik for Iskra. Iskra ("Spark") was an electronic equipment manufacturer in Yugoslavia, established in 1946 in Kranj, Slovenia.
Beside the fact that this item won numerous awards for design (some listed on image 5) and that you can still see the phone being used today, the design got stolen and was a big hit in the USA.
It has been adopted as part of the permanent exhibition of outstandingly designed modern products at the Museum of Modern Art in Munich, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and Ljubljana Architecture Museum in Ljubljana.
It is in great vintage condition, has been tested and works well, only flaw is a non working button on the left bottom part that had some special function unknown to me.
