Sculptural Space Age Floor Ashtray, Italy 1970s

Sculptural Space Age floor ashtray produced by Caimi in Italy during the 1970s. Characterised by its patented pedestal design, the piece combines a slender vertical silhouette with a concealed ashtray compartment integrated into the upper section. The result is a refined balance between functional industrial design and decorative presence. Executed in glossy chocolate brown plastic with metallic details, this version offers a warmer and more architectural interpretation of the Space Age aesthetic. The deep brown colour enhances the elegant proportions of the object while allowing it to integrate naturally into both vintage and contemporary interiors. The patented opening mechanism allows the upper compartment to open and close smoothly while preserving the clean, monolithic profile of the design when not in use. Beyond its original function, the piece works as a sculptural accent capable of adding personality and visual rhythm to a living room, lounge, office, library or smoking area. Its distinctive silhouette makes it equally appealing as a decorative object for collectors of Italian Space Age design. A highly recognisable example of 1970s Italian design, combining practicality, innovation and strong visual identity. Very good vintage condition. Light surface scratches and signs of use consistent with age. Minor oxidation on the metal parts, professionally cleaned. Fully functional opening mechanism.
