ABOUT PRODUCTID 33662
The Ritzenhoff ashtray, designed by Michaela Sieger in 1998, captures the essence of late 20th-century German design. Crafted from heavy, high-quality crystal glass, it features a square form measuring 10 × 10 cm and a height of 3 cm. Thick, transparent walls with precisely cut edges reflect light, giving the object a striking visual depth. The smooth, glossy surface accentuates the solidity and minimalist character of the piece. The base is adorned with a bold black-and-white pop-art graphic depicting a stylized couple—a motif characteristic of the 1990s. Four symmetrical notches for resting cigarettes are seamlessly integrated into the geometric body. The ashtray is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, chips, or restoration.This object speaks in the language of its era: the late 1990s were a time of playful forms and a return to graphic, bold design. The crystal mass remains silent, yet the artwork on its base tells its own story—a meeting of pop-art expression and cool, minimalist framing. The black-and-white motif conjures up memories of gallery posters, while the pristine glass recalls the aesthetics of modern lofts, where light and shadow take center stage. The ashtray is not just utilitarian, but also a statement of style: surprisingly bold, yet restrained.It can be used as a functional ashtray in an eclectic or contemporary living room, but works equally well as a decorative accent on a bookshelf or a designer console. It pairs well with other glass or metal objects, as well as with black-and-white graphics, which highlight its artistic nature. Interiors inspired by pop-art, Memphis, or minimalist 1990s modernism will bring out its full character, but it could also serve as an intriguing counterpoint in more classic settings.
