uten.silo Designed by Dorothee Becker, 1969
Uten.Silo is one of the best-known plastic designs of the late 1960s.
Today, this colorful wall tidy is a veritable design icon and a
true-to-the-original version of the product has now been reissued by Vitra
Design Museum.
At the end of the 1960s plastic was on its way to becoming one of the
dominant design materials. In Italy designers such as Joe Colombo and Vico
Magistretti designed bright and cheerful furniture, luminaires and consumer
goods for innovative manufacturers such as Artemide and Kartell. With
Bofinger Chair and Panton Chair the first seats made entirely of plastic
appeared. At the same time in Munich Ingo Maurer, who had already attracted
attention with his "Bulb" luminaire, launched a plastic wall tidy
which created quite a stir – Uten.Silo.
Uten.Silo was designed by Maurer's wife, Dorothee Becker. With its
differently-shaped and sized pockets, its metal hooks and clips Uten.Silo
organizes offices, kitchens, bathrooms and children's rooms. The
tension between industrial precision and playful variety, between logical
organization and humorous design makes Uten.Silo a highly functional design
which also allows plastic to be put to a sensible use. Made of ABS plastic with metal hooks according to an original model
produced by "Design M" following the original shape.
