This ashtray, crafted from natural travertine, reflects the spirit of Italian modernism from the 1980s. Its monolithic construction is carved from a single block of stone, free from visible joints or additional materials. The square form emphasizes a minimalist character, with a deep, rounded bowl as the central feature. Two precisely cut grooves on opposing edges serve as cigarette rests. The stone, in a warm light beige hue, displays natural veining and subtle color transitions, with both lighter and darker mineral inclusions. The matte finish highlights the porous texture of travertine, especially in the bowl where raw pits and natural cavities underscore the material’s authenticity. The proportions are balanced—thick, straight edges and a solid silhouette are in line with the aesthetics of late modernism. The condition is very good: no visible damage, chips, or repairs, only minor natural irregularities inherent to the stone.Within this ashtray resonates the voice of 1980s Italian design: stone shaped into a simple form, expressing restraint and reverence for material. Travertine seems to tell the story of an era when nature and craftsmanship converged in everyday objects. The matte surface gently diffuses light, while the irregular veining evokes Tuscan quarries and sculptors’ studios. It is an object that does not dominate the space, instead serving as a silent witness—like a fragment of architecture brought indoors.The ashtray would work well on a coffee table or sideboard in a living room, especially alongside furniture from the 1970s and 1980
