My first Heller find! These are award winning plastic ware were designed by Massimo Vignelli. I am not planning to create a collection here. I actually thought of Austro and his appreciation of form and function.
These seem to be super collectable in the USA with prices crazy on various ebay-esque sites. Haha, I got the whole set for under 2 bucks! Love that half price color!

stunning and very beatiful:) love the heller :)
Thanks sweets
anytime Amberrose:)
So beautiful because they're so simple!
Austro, I bought these with you in mind.
You got me on this - I have never heard of Heller. Is this sort of a Melmac material? Or like Texas Ware? I love the color!
Hi, not really like Texasware. These are a really hard plastic that all fit together really well. You can pile up you picnic food with no problem. They come in tons of colors and seem to be the "hot" collectible. Here is a link with some of the colors...I do not know this person, they just have some great pictures.
