ABOUT PRODUCTID 528
This cylindrical container was designed and produced by Koziol in West Germany during the 1980s. Crafted from white, matte plastic with a subtly warm, off-white hue, the piece reflects the minimalist and functional aesthetic characteristic of late 20th-century modernism. Its wide, flat rim evokes the silhouette of a top hat, lending the object a playful, whimsical aspect. The upper edge features a fine, evenly spaced ribbed texture, serving both as a visual accent and as a practical aid for gripping. The container is devoid of additional ornamentation or metal fittings, focusing attention on its clean geometry; the broad rim contrasts with the straight, vertical sides to create a balanced, harmonious proportion. The condition is good – the surface displays minor scratches and scuffs typical of genuine vintage objects, with no major damage, cracks, or repairs.This container reflects the optimism and creativity of the 1980s, an era when designers explored new materials and manufacturing techniques without sacrificing a sense of fun. The minimalist line and subtly playful form echo pop-art influences, turning a utilitarian item into a gentle nod to humor and everyday delight. The matte plastic gently diffuses light, while the regular ribbing suggests a thoughtful approach to touch and use, as if the container quietly offered: “Use me for anything, not just storage.”Within a contemporary living room, the container could serve as a vessel for flowers or ice; its versatile nature also allows use as a catchall for small items. It would pair well with interiors inspired by the 1980s – among plastic or metal furnishings, geometric lamps, and bold graphic posters. For a playful effect, it could be displayed alongside simple glass vases or set against a brightly colored wall to highlight the whimsical rim. In
