Vintage "Ultima" ashtray set designed by Holger Bäckström and Bo Ljungberg (Beck & Jung) for Diverse Ting from the 60s/70s. Rare set of 4 vintage brass Ultima ashtrays made of solid brass. The set consists of two larger and two smaller pieces, characterized by a strong geometric and architectural design. The design is typical of the Brutalist style, with a heavy, block-shaped base and a removable top with a wavy, perforated grid. The two-part construction is both functional and aesthetic. The golden sheen of the brass gives the objects a warm and rich appearance. The ashtrays show a patina consistent with their age and material, which contributes to their authentic vintage character. The overall condition is good and the structural integrity is intact. These sculptural objects are not only functional but also serve as striking decorative pieces. They fit perfectly into a Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist, or eclectic interior, for example, on a coffee table or a sideboard.
