Simple, elegant, practical and discreet... that's all you want from an ashtray. Published by Alessi and designed by Marianne Brandt, the 90010/I Ashtray has two shiny steel elements to collect the ashes and lock in the smell of tobacco. The Ashtray 90010/I can be placed in any room of the house where it will be needed by smokers: the living room table, the dining room, the study... A highly practical accessory that will go unnoticed thanks to its discreet, elegant lines
In 1921, Giovanni Alessi founded the Italian company Alessi. Since 1929, the company has focussed on producing nickel- or silver-plated copper tableware. When Carlo Alessi, Giovanni's son, was appointed design director in 1935, handcrafting methods were replaced by industrial manufacturing. In 1955, the company began collaborating with world-renowned architects and designers such as Richard Sapper, Ettore Sottsass, and later, Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders. Alessi makes design accessible by focussing on useful, humorous and visually appealing home accessories. Most of its products have become design classics that are sold and exhibited around the world.
