AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A unique set consisting of five stackable mail or paper trays by Hans Erich Slany for Leitz.
Hans Erich Slany was a renowned German designer, broadly considered to be the first industrial designer to use plastic for the housing of electric (hand)tools around 1960.
Following his success in this area, he designed the Leitz Briefkorb 5220 towards the end of the 1970s. A stackable plastic mail- or paper tray without right angles or edges, but entirely shaped in a rounded, flowing silhouette. This futuristic appearance, further enhanced by the high-gloss crystal-clear white material, gives the tray a completely unique and timeless character that fits on any desk and in any interior, both today and tomorrow.
These five pieces are entirely undamaged and free of unsightly scratches. There are light signs of use and one tray is missing a rubber foot. Because of the stacking method, the absence is negligible.
The trays are marked on the top, and under one tray there is still an original sticker for sale. Two loose stickers are supplied.
The set will be carefully packaged and insured for shipment, incl. track & trace.
Good luck with your bidding.
