This is the Avida Swing freestanding ashtray, designed by Pierangelo Caramia in 1990. A striking piece of nineties design that combines functionality with sculptural form.
The ashtray is crafted from metal and aluminium, featuring an organically shaped silver-coloured catcher resting on a slender, black metal stand. The contrast between the polished aluminium and the matte black base gives the object a distinctly postmodern character. Designed to stand freely in the room, the ashtray immediately draws attention due to its unconventional silhouette.
The object is in good condition befitting its age and previous use. The original finish has been preserved, contributing to the authentic appearance of this early nineties design.
This freestanding ashtray is a characterful addition to an eclectic or postmodern interior. It is a functional object that also serves as a sculptural accent in a seating area or reception space. Base plate 18 cm diameter. Ashtray 14 x 18 cm. Very heavy, nearly 5 kg. Rare item.
