About the Item
This rare modular container set was designed in the 1970s by Makio Hasuike for the Italian manufacturer Gedy, a company known for pioneering functional plastic design in postwar Italy. Executed entirely in molded plastic, the set comprises multiple containers with interchangeable lids, conceived to be stacked or used independently according to need.
The softly rounded geometric forms and bold color palette — red, green, and yellow — are emblematic of Italian design experimentation during the Space Age period, when everyday objects became vehicles for visual optimism and material innovation. Hasuike’s approach balances playful aesthetics with rigorous functionality, resulting in objects that remain relevant decades after their creation.
Originally designed for domestic storage, these containers now stand as collectible examples of 1970s Italian industrial design. Their compact proportions and modular logic make them suitable for display as sculptural objects, while their provenance and designer attribution add strong appeal for collectors of modern and postwar European design.
