Description

One of a set of three containers designed by Stig Lindberg in 1952 for use in an Electrolux refrigerator. Made from injection moulded transparent styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), there are two square and one large rectangular lidded boxes with exaggerated rounded corners. The lid of the smallest box, possibly not the original, is mouded with the Electrocux logo in the centre. The two larger boxes have the moulded anchor logo of the manufacturer Gustavsberg.
