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 based near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the design brand Vitra grew and opened many subsidiaries worldwide. The founders had spotted Eames Lounge Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames during a trip to New York, USA. They were immediately captivated and therefore requested a license to produce these pieces of furniture in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the keys to the brand's success.
