This cigar cutter by Knipp, crafted in Germany in the 1960s, exemplifies the practical and minimalist character of mid-century modern design. Formed from metal in a cool, silvery tone, it features a slightly matte finish with subtle areas of shine, especially along the edges and around the central button. The construction is based on a rectangular, compact body with softly rounded corners and a flat profile. The central sliding button, smoothly integrated into the body, operates the cutting mechanism. The surface remains smooth, with visible seams along the sides, and the absence of engravings or ornamentation underscores its utilitarian intent. The piece is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor signs of use and the natural patina of age-appropriate metal.This modest accessory evokes the spirit of the 1960s, when everyday objects were designed for durability and function, and their forms were restrained and thoughtful. The cutter seems to tell the story of an era in which metal accessories embodied modern attitudes, and simplicity was considered the ultimate value. The cool touch and weight in the hand recall the rituals of the past, where each gesture—such as the precise cut of a cigar—carried its own moment and meaning.One could place the cutter on a classic walnut bar tray, accompanied by a crystal ashtray and a period lighter, to create a refined vintage vignette in a living room or study. It pairs well with other mid-century accessories, and its understated form allows it to be combined with geometric objects or muted textiles such as felt or leather in deep hues. Within a vintage collection, it brings a restrained, discreet accent without dominating the space.
