Brutalist design is about material and presence. This Marcello Fantoni for Raymor copper ashtray from the 1960s embodies both. Sculpted in solid copper with a richly aged verdigris patina, the pierced architectural rim adds texture and depth while the bowl form grounds the piece. Measuring 8" W x 8" D x 3.5" H, it works as a vintage ashtray, sculptural catchall, or statement decorative object. Fantoni’s work bridges Italian modernism and raw Brutalist form, making this a collectible example of 1960s Italian design. In good condition consistent with age and use, it carries the character only time can create — a lasting investment layer for a thoughtfully built space.
ERA: 1960s
PROVENANCE: Italy
MATERIAL: Copper
CONDITION: Wear consistent with age
