Product Information
Full details
This Alessi Stainless Steel Ashtray is designed for individuals who appreciate functional art and iconic design. Its key benefit lies in its ability to serve as both a practical item and a sculptural centerpiece, transcending its intended use. A potential caveat is its polished surface, which may show fingerprints easily. This ashtray, a collaboration between Alessi and the legacy of Bauhaus artist Marianne Brandt, features seamless lines, a striking silhouette, and is crafted from two elements of polished stainless steel.
