The piece features a padded leather exterior, softly contoured and hand-finished, paired with a brass rim that introduces a subtle metallic accent.

Designed as both a functional object and a decorative accessory, the ashtray reflects the period’s attention to tactile materials and everyday luxury. The contrast between the warm leather and the brass detailing gives the object a balanced and timeless presence, suitable for use on a desk, side table, or coffee table.

With its compact proportions, the ashtray is ideal as a standalone accent or as part of a curated grouping of Italian modern accessories. The piece remains faithful to its original function while also serving as a sculptural object that conveys the atmosphere of Italian interiors from the 1970s.
