In 1960s Italy, Fontana Arte established a design language where glass became structure, volume, and light. This square ashtray is a particularly refined interpretation: an object straddling the line between functional design and collector's item.
The dark cognac leather tabletop, subtly sheathed and stitched, provides a warm base whose deep patina elegantly speaks of time. At its center, a thick, perfectly cut block of glass captures and diffracts the light with almost architectural precision. The interplay between the suppleness of the leather and the rigor of the glass is typical of Fontana Arte creations from this period.
With its well-balanced dimensions—16.5 cm wide and 4 cm high—this ashtray has a strong presence without ever being intrusive. It functions today as much as a repurposed object as it does as a table sculpture, placed on a modernist desk or a bookshelf.
The leather has a beautiful, even patina. A tiny snag is visible on one corner, barely noticeable, and does not detract from the overall appearance of the piece. The piece is in remarkably good condition.
An authentic piece from the 1960s, signed by a major Italian design publisher, rare in this condition, intended for discerning collectors and lovers of high-end modernist design.
