Cigarette box, ashtray and lighter in the form of a small chest of drawers in Plexiglas and caning — a rare piece of Italian design from the 1970s, at the crossroads of modernism and decorative art.
Designed as a miniature piece of furniture, this box is distinguished by its transparent Plexiglas structure, highlighting natural cane fronts that bring warmth and texture.
The interplay of transparency and material creates a sophisticated visual effect, typical of the Italian aesthetic of the seventies, blending plastic innovation and artisanal references.
Both functional and sculptural, this piece embodies the bold spirit of Italian vintage design and fits perfectly into a contemporary, brutalist or mid-century interior.
