AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare desktop ashtray produced by Artemide, designed by Eleonora Peduzzi Riva in 1969.
Rare item, suitable for collectors or as a Space Age design decor piece,
A sculpture-like object characterized by a spiral and the presence of a heavy ball that, sliding along the groove, reaches the center to extinguish the cigarette placed there.
Its original function as an ashtray, made safe by the use of melamine, a sturdy and flame-retardant plastic material, can easily take a back seat, leaving room for its aesthetic and decorative appeal.
Esthetically preserved in good vintage condition, with note of various deformities of the plastic probably due to excessive use and excessive heat. All defects are visible in the photos which are part of the description.
The manufacturer's mark is impressed on the bottom.
Dimensions: 22 x 22 x 7 cm.
