Arthur Krupp - Sergio Mazza, Giuliana Gramigna - Ashtray - Steel - Linea dell’Orso

This steel ashtray, part of the 'Linea dell’Orso' collection, was designed by Arthur Krupp alongside Sergio Mazza and Giuliana Gramigna. Linea dell’Orso is known for its sleek, modern designs often characterized by clean lines and innovative use of materials that reflect Italian 20th-century design aesthetics. Steel is a popular material choice for functional items like ashtrays due to its durability, ease of cleaning, and modern appeal. Such ashtrays serve not only a practical purpose but also act as design elements within a space, especially when created by renowned designers. Collectors of designer décor appreciate pieces like this for their blend of utility and artistic expression, emblematic of mid- to late-century modernism in everyday objects.
