Pair of "Nautical" ashtrays by Cini & Nils for OPI Milano

An elegant pair of Nautique ashtrays, created by the OPI Milano studio for the Italian brand Cini & Nils, an iconic figure in 1970s Italian design. These pieces perfectly embody the modernist aesthetic of the era, where functionality serves pure, sculptural forms. The ashtrays feature a clean, hemispherical silhouette, crafted from white plastic, paired with a black receptacle that accentuates the overall graphic design. The discreet and seamlessly integrated front notch evokes the nautical world to which the model refers, while ensuring practical and intuitive use. Conceived as true design objects, these ashtrays transcend their primary function and can be repurposed as catch-alls, small storage containers, or simply decorative pieces. Their understated and balanced presence integrates equally well into a contemporary interior as into a vintage or mid-century style. A rare and sought-after set, representative of the Italian craftsmanship of Cini & Nils and the work of the OPI Milano studio, ideal for lovers of Italian design, iconic pieces from the 1970s, and objects with a timeless aesthetic.
