Uten.Silo I Organizer

$660

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 Vitra Uten.Silo and when?

Dorothee Becker designed the Uten.Silo in 1969, with a smaller version following in 1970. Becker was a German designer whose work emerged from the functionalist traditions of postwar European design, though the Uten.Silo brought a distinctive graphic playfulness to that rigor.

What material is the Uten.Silo I made from?

The Uten.Silo I is injection-molded in ABS plastic, chosen for its ability to hold precise geometric forms and its durability in everyday use. The material also allows for the bold, consistent color that defines the piece's character.

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

The Uten.Silo I is designed for wall mounting, with integrated hanging points on the rear panel. Installation requires standard wall fixings appropriate to the wall type, and Vitra recommends following the included instructions for proper load distribution.

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 Becker introduced the following year. Both share the same design language and ABS construction, but differ in overall dimensions and storage capacity.

Is the Uten.Silo considered a design collectible?

Yes. The Uten.Silo has been part of Vitra's permanent collection for decades and is held in the collections of several design museums. Its combination of utilitarian purpose and strong formal identity has made it one of the more recognized objects of late 1960s European design.
