This Bakelite office organizer from Germany, dating to the 1960s, exemplifies precise industrial design of the mid-century modern era. Crafted from deep black, highly polished Bakelite, it features a minimalist, geometric arrangement of four compartments: two small squares, one elongated rectangle, and one larger rectangular section. The edges are smooth and rounded, with balanced proportions and slightly raised rims to prevent items from slipping out. The surface is glossy and uniform, without visible grain or texture, highlighting its industrial character. Functionality is defined by the simple spatial division, making it easy to store pens, clips, or notecards. The piece is in pristine, unused condition – classified as New Old Stock, with no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This form echoes the voice of rational, postwar Europe: Bakelite, the everyday material of the 1960s, speaks here with clarity and economy of means. The organizer seems to ask: can order not be beautifully straightforward? Its glossy black surface reflects light, evoking memories of office desktops from decades past, where every item had its place. In the project's simplicity, one hears the influence of German design thinking, able to transform even the most utilitarian detail into a harmonious element of daily ritual. The organizer can be placed on a home office desk or a living room console to keep correspondence or small accessories in order. It pairs well with other Bakelite or metal accessories – such as an industrial-style table lamp, a metal clock, or a minimalist pen case. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern, industrial, or collector's aesthetics will easily accommodate
