Uten.Silo II RE Wall storage plastic material / Recycled - Dorothee Becker (1970) - 52 x 68 cm

Uten.Silo II RE: The Iconic Wall Storage Unit Designed by Dorothee Becker

A storage solution that has become a design piece in its own right. Vitra’s Uten.Silo II RE was designed in 1970 by Dorothee Becker, one year after the success of the first Uten.Silo version. With its compartments of various shapes and sizes, hooks, and clamps, this wall organizer lets you store a multitude of small items while keeping them visible and easily accessible. Measuring 52 × 68 cm and just 6.5 cm deep, it frees up counter space and transforms everyday storage into a true wall composition.

When Storage Becomes Art

The genius ofUten.Silo lies as much in its organization as in its aesthetics. Rather than hiding everyday objects, Dorothee Becker has designed a structure that showcases them. Rounded or rectangular compartments, small hooks, and clasps punctuate its surface and provide a place for objects of various shapes.

Once filled, the storage system evolves with whatever you place in it. Pencils, keys, accessories, utensils, or small decorative objects all contribute to its composition and gradually form a personal, graphic board. A unique way to adorn the wall while keeping the items you want close at hand organized.

An iconic creation by Dorothee Becker

Dorothee Becker designed the first Uten.Silo in 1969. Given its success, a smaller version was introduced the following year. It is this Uten.Silo II, designed in 1970, that we see here in its RE version.

More than half a century after its creation, its design remains as relevant as ever. It combines functionality and graphic impact in an instantly recognizable object. Choosingthe original Uten.Silo II RE produced by Vitra also means choosing Dorothee Becker’s authentic design rather than an interpretation of this now-iconic model.

New colors to refresh your Decoration

Color adds a new dimension to this icon. Uten.Silo II RE is available in a wide range of shades, allowing it to blend into a variety of decorative styles.

The new shades— Cashew, Lemon, Lilac, Mandarine, and Golden Olive Green —allow you to transform it from discreet storage into a true pop of color. Cashew brings a warm, deep tone. Lemon brightens up a wall with a luminous touch. Lilac introduces a softer, more creative touch. Mandarine exudes a vibrant energy, while Golden Olive Green fits into a more natural color scheme. There are so many ways to turn this functional piece into an integral part of your Decoration.

Storage made from recycled ABS

This RE version takes the icon’s manufacturing to the next level. Uten.Silo II RE is made from Recycled ABS, sourced from post-industrial waste. The material is listed as 100% recyclable, while the hooks are made of Nickel-plate metal.

The change in material does not alter the design principle that made the model so successful. It features the same wall storage system, designed to maximize storage possibilities in a format just 6.5 cm deep.

In which room should you install the Uten.Silo II RE?

Uten.Silo II RE can be installed almost anywhere in the home. That is precisely one of its greatest strengths. The model was designed to hold all kinds of items and can fit in the office, kitchen, workshop, bathroom, or child’s bedroom.

In the entryway, it creates wall storage for keys, mail, and small accessories that you often look for when you’re about to leave. In the kitchen, it holds small kitchenware and accessories you want to keep within easy reach. In the bathroom, its various compartments help organize small everyday items.

In the office, pens, pencils, notes, and supplies naturally find their place in its many compartments. In a bedroom, it frees up desk space or other surfaces by making use of the wall. And in the living room, it can take on a more decorative role: just a few carefully chosen items are enough to transform Uten.Silo into a wall decoration. This versatility stems directly from the variety of its clamps, hooks, and compartments.

What can you store in an Uten.Silo?

Uten.Silo II RE is particularly well-suited for small everyday items. Its compartments, which come in various shapes and sizes, allow you to keep very different items together in one place, while the hooks and clamps expand the organizational possibilities.

The benefit is that you can customize your storage to suit your own habits. Frequently used items remain visible and easy to find, without cluttering a countertop, desk, or piece of furniture. Uten.Silo thus takes on a unique look in every home, as its contents directly shape its appearance.

Why choose Uten.Silo II over traditional wall storage?

Uten.Silo II combines storage functionality with decorative appeal. Whereas a traditional wall organizer typically aims to blend into the background, Dorothee Becker’s design takes pride of place on the wall. Its series of volumes creates a distinctive pattern even when empty. Once filled, the objects complete this composition.

Its compact size is also an advantage in spaces where every square meter counts. Measuring 52 cm wide, 68 cm tall, and 6.5 cm deep, it makes use of the wall’s vertical surface without requiring any additional furniture.

With Uten.Silo II RE, storage finally becomes a form of decoration. Whether in an entryway, kitchen, desk, or bathroom, this creation by Dorothee Becker for Vitra transitions from room to room as effortlessly as it transcends the decades. Choose a color that complements your interior, fill its compartments to suit your daily life, and let the objects, in turn, become part of the Decoration.
