Each piece in this renowned collection is derived from a single geometric form, the cylinder, which incorporates the appropriate handle, spout, or lid to denote its intended use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis practical double level storage container features a concave, semi-spherical bowl balanced on two thin metal rods. The mechanism is simple yet highly effective: the bowl revolves to drop items into the cylindrical body below. When this design was used for cigarettes, this would keep the surroundings tidy and minimise odours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs noted on Stelton's own website, the ashtray also serves as a useful addition to the bar, functioning neatly as a deposit for spent lime wedges or olive stones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pure geometric forms and practical stainless-steel construction embody Jacobsen's Modernist ideals, while the enduring popularity of the design speaks to the strength of streamlined, functional objects that prioritise practicality, ease of use, and lasting enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a vintage example from the 1980's and retains its original packaging. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56851693830531,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/danish-modern-classic-stelton-revolving-ashtray-arne-jacobsen.jpg?v=1763323492","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/arne-jacobsen-revolving-ashtray","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
