About the Item
This freestanding ashtray, designed by Gunnar Ander and produced by Ystad Metall in Sweden during the 1950s, is a classic example of Scandinavian modern design. The ashtray features a combination of brass and black lacquered metal, creating a refined aesthetic balance. The structure consists of a slender, black lacquered metal stem that supports a semi-spherical ashtray with a brass-trimmed edge. The ashtray is designed with four integrated brass cigarette rests, evenly spaced along the rim, providing practical functionality and a distinctive design element.
A loop handle at the center of the ashtray allows for convenient handling and repositioning, adding to its user-friendly design. The circular base, also made of black lacquered metal, provides stability while maintaining the minimalist profile of the piece. The contrast between the brass and black lacquered metal highlights Gunnar Ander’s signature approach, where simple yet functional forms are enhanced by the careful selection of materials.
Gunnar Ander was a well-known Swedish designer, particularly recognized for his work in metal and glass. He frequently collaborated with Ystad Metall to produce both decorative and utilitarian objects, such as this ashtray. Ystad Metall, renowned for its craftsmanship, produced high-quality pieces in brass and other metals, making it a prominent name in mid-century modern Swedish design.
This piece remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age-related wear, including a patina and surface marks on the brass components. These subtle imperfections enhance the character of the piece, emphasizing its authenticity and vintage charm.
The dimensions of the ashtray are 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) in diameter and 60.5 cm (23.8 inches) in height, making it an elegant and functional addition to any space. Its combination of form and function, along with its refined materials, makes it a timeless example of Scandinavian modern design.
