AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An iconic example of mid-century modern design, this vintage Uten.Silo wall organizer was designed by German designer Dorothee Becker in 1969 for Design M, Germany. Original first production. Off-white/Cream ABS plastic and original nickel plated metal hooks and clip.
Originally conceived as a practical storage solution, the Uten.Silo became a celebrated design classic of the late 1960s./early 1970s. It is endlessly practical with containers of different shapes and sizes, metal hooks and clip making it perfect for organizing offices, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. The design was later reissued by Vitra, which continues to produce the Uten.Silo in updated versions using recycled post-industrial ABS plastic.
Mounts to the wall with four screws and measures 87cm × 67 cm × 7 cm (height × width × depth).
Very good vintage condition and overall in great shape with minimal wear. No cracks to the plastic, little to no discoloring and fading. Some light scratches here and there with rust on the hooks and clip. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed view of the overall condition.
