The AMAC Stacking Canister Series is an idea so simple and elegant that you wonder why it took civilization so long to come up with it. First, make a lightweight yet durable acrylic container square in plan and in gradually increasing heights. Top it off with a removable lid. Make the body of the canister clear so the contents are visible without having to remove the lid. Second, design the base of each canister to indent slightly so that it fits snugly into the recess of a lid placed underneath it. In other words, make the canisters so they can stack securely one on top of the other. Third, color each lid in an attractive hue for quick identification and a touch of aesthetic embellishment. Last, price them to be affordable, while still making them in the USA. Voilà: AMAC Stacking Canisters. Good for bath, kitchen, office, living. The company that makes the canisters was founded by Gene Hurwitt in California in 1960 and now has pieces in the permanent collection of MoMA. AMAC boxes are part of our popular culture: they served as the canvas for silkscreened portraits by Andy Warhol and had a role in a film featuring the character James Bond. All canisters are 4 x 4 inches square in plan. Heights are 2 1/2, 3 3/4, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 inches.
