AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Industrially distinctive metal lattice‑box with a bright blue interior is not just a storage box — it’s a design object with character. The combination of the clean white lattice and the deep blue inside gives the box a modern, industrial look that you rarely see. The sturdy metal frame ensures durability, while the transparent structure creates a playful light‑and‑shadow effect.
This type of chest was widely used in the 1960s–70s for mail delivery, parcel storage, or industrial storage. The mesh design is typical of that period. It may also be a military or institutional chest.
- White steel mesh frame on the outside
- Blue steel inner box (enamelled metal)
- Hinge lid with padlock (brand "H")
- Dimensions
Height 55 cm
Width 56 cm
Depth 56 cm
Weight 30-/+ kg
The open structure makes it airy and stylish, yet solid and functional. Whether you use it in a workshop, kids’ room, office, or living room, this box is a practical and striking addition that immediately draws attention and also serves as an eye‑catcher at home.
The photos are part of the description. Due to the size of the object, pickup in Epe, NETHERLANDS is preferred. Transport is possible by mutual arrangement, but arranging the transport is the buyer’s responsibility. And (in the Netherlands we can also arrange transport ourselves at the cheapest rate; the buyer must pay with an invoice).
