Description from the seller

This industrial, 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 sleek 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 can also be a military or institutional box.

- White steel mesh frame on the outside
- Blue steel inner box (lacquered 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, a child’s room, an office or a living room, this box is a practical and striking addition that instantly attracts attention—both in a professional setting and as an eye-catcher at home.

The photos are part of the description.

Due to the size of the object, pickup in Epe, the Netherlands is preferred. Transport is also possible by arrangement, but organizing 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).
