Rotocenere ashtray by Joe Colombo for Kartell 1970s

The Rotocenere ashtray, designed by Joe Colombo for the Italian company Kartell, was designed in the late 1960s and discontinued in the early 1970s with the intention of designing objects that address everyday challenges while using innovative materials and techniques for the time. This model is no longer produced. This cylindrical ashtray consists of three separate elements. The body is made of black lacquered metal, while the lid is made of black plastic. The lid is made of two parts and can rotate 360° around the base, allowing the ashtray to be tightly closed when not in use. This position not only prevents smoke from escaping, but also allows you to extinguish any still-lit cigarettes. In good condition, some signs of wear on the body and signs of use on the inside.
