Tomado History:
Founded in 1923 by the Van der Togt brothers, Tomado grew into a leading Dutch brand for household products. Known for iconic designs, including wire-frame book racks and kitchen items, Tomado symbolized the modern home in the 1950s and 1960s. This tin, with its characteristic kaleidoscopic print, perfectly fits within that tradition of innovative and colourful design.
What is a Kaleidoscope?
The kaleidoscope, which inspired the pattern on this tin, creates beautiful, symmetrical designs through light and reflections. It offers a "mind-expanding" experience, closely linked to the psychedelic art movement of the 1960s.
An absolute must-have for collectors of retro design and a unique piece for fans of Tomado’s iconic style!
