ABOUT PRODUCTID 22364
This ashtray from the Manade collection, designed by Jean-René Taloppa for SAMP Design in France in 1977, exemplifies the clean minimalism and attention to detail characteristic of the Space Age era. The body is crafted from durable ABS plastic in a vibrant, cool-toned red and topped with a highly polished, chrome-plated steel insert. A central black push-button activates the rotating mechanism, efficiently concealing ash and cigarette ends. The base is finished in matte black, adding visual contrast and stability. The form is compact and geometric, with smooth, rounded lines and a low, wide profile, free from visible joints or screws. All elements remain original and are preserved in very good vintage condition—only minor traces of use such as fine scratches on the chrome and slight wear on the red plastic are visible.This ashtray channels the energy of the 1970s, when French design embraced innovative materials and bold color schemes. Its vivid red evokes the neon lights of Parisian cafés, while the mirror-like chrome top reflects light like a capsule of cosmic optimism. The construction speaks in the voice of its era: “Here, simplicity, function, and a hint of futuristic flair matter.” The rotating mechanism—a hallmark of Space Age objects—invites interaction and highlights the innovative spirit of the period.The ashtray can be juxtaposed with other 1970s accessories such as side tables with chrome accents, lamps with geometric shades, or armchairs in brightly colored plastics. It will suit both a mid-century modern-inspired living room and an eclectic collector's interior, where it can serve as a vibrant accent on a credenza or coffee table. Pairing it with black-and-white graphics or Murano glass will highlight its geometric clarity and the dynamic character of the Space Age aesthetic.
