"Great Creative Ideas"
One the most unusual of my plastic finds is this Kartell trash can. The label on the bottom reads "Kartell Milano, designer G. Colombini, made in the USA, by Beylerian Ltd."
What I've been able to find about this is, Beylerian Ltd. was the maker of Kartell product in America back in the early 70's. Beylerian product could be found in the home section of high end department stores. It may have been too fashion forward for Americans because it didn't last.
With the writing "Great Creative Ideas" on the trash can, I think this maybe have been a store fixture or an advertising piece.
Some of my great plastic finds. The blue and orange dishes are from Heller. The green vase is by Graves for Alessi. (If you like these, make me an offer)
Everyone has their likes and dis-likes. Good taste to one person is bad taste to another.
My deign taste is more towards 60's & 70's plastics. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have and Eames "Lounge chair" or Jacobsen "Egg chair". But what I would really like is an Eero Aarnio "Pastille Chair" ( green miniature chair in the photo). There is just something to be said about some good old Italian plastic.
For now I'll have to settle for the miniature chair instead.
