Uten.Silo RE wall storage

Design

Originally designed in 1969, Uten.Silo was conceived to bring together various storage solutions on a single vertical surface, keeping items close at hand. Large and small containers, open compartments, hooks, and clips are arranged in a composition that appears free-form, yet is carefully structured. The result is a functional object that also serves as a striking decorative element on any wall. In 1970, Dorothee Becker developed a second, more compact version—Uten.Silo II—which maintains the core design principles of the original model.

Functionality and Organization

Uten.Silo RE utilizes wall space to clear off tabletops and counters, keeping small items visible and easy to reach. Its containers of varying sizes are perfect for storing stationery, tools, accessories, personal care products, small toys, and much more, while the metal hooks and clips offer even greater versatility. Available in two sizes, it allows you to choose the version best suited to your available space: Uten.Silo RE I provides a larger storage surface, while Uten.Silo RE II is ideal for smaller walls or more confined areas.

Materials and Sustainability

Uten.Silo RE is made from post-industrial recycled ABS plastic—material recovered from waste generated during manufacturing processes. This material is 100% recyclable and allows for the complex shapes and precise surfaces that define the original design. The hooks are made of nickel-plated metal, creating a subtle material contrast with the plastic structure.

Versatility and Adaptability

Uten.Silo RE is designed to suit a wide range of home and professional environments. In an office or home office, it can organize stationery and small tools; in the kitchen, it can hold accessories and utensils; in the bathroom, it can be used for personal care products and other items; and in a child’s room, it helps keep pencils, small toys, and creative supplies tidy. It is also well-suited for workshops, studios, entryways, and commercial spaces—settings where its storage function is complemented by the decorative appeal of a 20th-century design icon.
