Rare set composed of an ashtray and a table lighter designed by the Italian designer Antonio Imperatore in the 1970s. Made of thick smoked Murano glass, this set is distinguished by its geometric aesthetic characteristic of Italian Space Age design.
The internal spherical cavity decor, combined with the substantial mass of glass, creates remarkable plays of light and transparency. The set evokes high-end Italian productions of the 1970s, where sculpture and functionality merge.
An emblematic piece of Italian Space Age design, this set will naturally find its place in a contemporary, modernist, or brutalist interior.
