ABOUT PRODUCTID 15639
The 'Ultima 15' ashtray, designed by Holger Bäckström and Bo Ljungberg for Diverse Ting in the 1960s, encapsulates the essence of Scandinavian modernism and austere minimalism. Produced in Denmark, the piece is crafted entirely from cast aluminum. Its block-form measures 15 × 15 × 6 cm and is constructed seamlessly, devoid of any visible fastenings or decorative elements. The defining feature is the sculptural, modular top surface: a grid of sixteen semi-cylindrical recesses set atop a rectangular base. The matte, silver-toned surface offers a soft, industrial reflection rather than a polished gloss, capturing and dispersing light in rhythmic, architectural bands that underscore the casting’s exceptional precision. The grid allows multiple cigarettes to rest at once, while the structure itself suggests alternative uses as a sculptural catchall for small objects or jewelry. The ashtray is preserved in very good vintage condition, bearing only minimal, unobtrusive signs of gentle use. The 'Ultima 15' speaks with the voice of mid-century Scandinavia—defined by restraint and an embrace of functional purity. The
