Product Information

Full details

The Vitra Uten.Silo Wall Storage in White is an iconic design piece from the 1960s, perfect for anyone seeking to bring organized charm to offices, kitchens, workshops, bathrooms, or children's rooms. Its key benefit lies in its versatile compartments, hooks, and clips that keep everyday items accessible and neatly displayed, transforming clutter into a graphic feature. A potential caveat is that the durable ABS plastic, while robust, may show scuffs over time with heavy use.

Troubleshooting

Unit feels unstable after mounting

Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall fixings used are appropriate for the wall material and the weight the unit is expected to hold.

Difficulty fitting larger items into compartments

The Uten.Silo is designed for smaller items. Consider using the hooks for items with handles or exploring alternative storage solutions for larger objects.

Surface appears scratched

Gently clean with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs are a characteristic of ABS plastic with use. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mounting the Uten.Silo requires appropriate wall fixings (not included) suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete). Ensure the unit is level and securely fastened to prevent sagging or falling, especially when loaded.

Compatibility:

The Uten.Silo is designed to hold a wide variety of small to medium-sized objects, from office supplies and kitchen utensils to craft materials and bathroom accessories. The hooks and clips are suitable for items with handles or loops.

Care:

Clean the Uten.Silo with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic surface. The nickel-plated metal hooks can be wiped with a dry cloth to maintain their shine.
