Both a tray and a container, O-Tidy is a storage accessory designed by the designer Michel Charlot for Vitra. Motivated by the desire to introduce unusual organic shapes into generally austere office environments, this designer took inspiration for his creations, such as O-Tidy, from cartoons and sculptures. Functional and versatile, O-Tidy has a design that combines pure forms, giving it perfect proportions. The plastic material selected for the creation of O-Tidy also makes it a sturdy accessory that is available in a variety of colours, adding a joyful note that will brighten up any environment.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the Vitra brand expanded and opened numerous subsidiaries around the world. The founders discovered the Vitra armchairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables, and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio, and the Bouroullec brothers. They were instantly captivated and subsequently requested a license to produce these furniture pieces in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the cornerstones of the brand’s success.
