Postmodern design ashtray – Alessandro Guerriero for Ritzenhoff, crystal (1980s–90s)
Crystal ashtray designed by Alessandro Guerriero, a major figure in Italian postmodern design and associated with the Memphis movement.
Produced by Ritzenhoff (Germany), this model is distinguished by its polychrome geometric decoration, inspired by Memphis graphic codes, integrated directly into the crystal.
The square shape with its architectural angles, combined with the transparency of the crystal and the vibrant colors, makes it a piece that is both functional and highly decorative. A true statement piece from the 1980s–1990s, sought after by collectors of postmodern design.
The signature “A. Guerriero – Ritzenhoff” is visible in the crystal, attesting to the piece's authenticity.
