An authentic, iconic piece of mid-century French design. This heavy molded glass block vide-poche (or modern ashtray) was manufactured by Lumax in France during the 1960s. The radical, minimalist design is historically attributed to the pioneering modernist architects Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. Its stark, solid geometry serves as a direct, poetic reference to the glass construction bricks used in post-war avant-garde architecture, translating industrial building components into a sophisticated domestic object. Specifications & Features: Authenticity: Features the signature raised "LUMAX" hallmark clearly visible molded onto the lower side border. Material: Heavy, solid pressed glass with beautiful, natural internal manufacturing striations. Dimensions: Approx. 12 x 12 x 6 cm (Medium-sized model). Weight: Heavy format, approx. 1 kg Condition Report: Good vintage condition. The piece shows honest, superficial traces of time and use, including light surface scratches and minor flea bites/scuffs on the rims, perfectly consistent with its age and utilitarian history. No structural cracks. Please examine the photos carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
