Uten.Silo I Organizer

Made by Vitra

Dorothee Becker conceived the Uten.Silo in 1969, a moment when German design culture was reckoning with function as a form of personal expression. The result was not a shelf or a cabinet but something closer to a composition: a wall-mounted ABS plastic panel populated with clips, hooks, pockets, and containers of varied depth and proportion, each element sized for the actual objects of daily life.

The Uten.Silo I is the original, larger format. Its graphic silhouette reads as almost sculptural against a wall, while its organization logic remains entirely practical. Vitra has kept the piece in faithful production, preserving Becker's original geometry and the bold, considered palette of colorways she envisioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Uten.Silo and when?

The Uten.Silo was designed by German designer Dorothee Becker in 1969. A smaller version, the Uten.Silo II, followed in 1970. Vitra has kept both in continuous or periodic production as recognized postwar design objects.

What material is the Uten.Silo I made from?

The Uten.Silo I is injection-molded in ABS plastic, a material that was central to the formal and economic possibilities of 1960s industrial design. The choice of ABS allows for the precise detailing of its many integrated clips, hooks, and compartments.

How is the Uten.Silo I mounted to the wall?

The Uten.Silo I is a wall-mounted panel. It is designed to hang on a wall using standard hardware, keeping the entire front surface free for storage. Mounting instructions and hardware are typically included by Vitra.

What is the difference between Uten.Silo I and Uten.Silo II?

The Uten.Silo I is the original, larger format designed in 1969, while the Uten.Silo II is a smaller version introduced by Becker a year later in 1970. Both share the same organizational logic and ABS construction, but differ in overall dimensions and storage capacity.

Is the Uten.Silo considered a design collectible?

The Uten.Silo is included in the permanent collections of several design museums and is widely regarded as a significant object of postwar European industrial design. Vitra's continued re-edition of the piece reflects its standing as a functional icon rather than a period curiosity.
