TUBO reimagines the classic ashtray through a modern lens, drawing inspiration from Bruno Munari’s iconic design from the 1950s. The design softens Munari’s sharp-edged cube into a flowing cylinder, symbolizing a shift from rigidity to openness. Made from resin and mirrored steel, TUBO contrasts matte and glossy finishes in a striking way. While it begins as an ashtray, TUBO has the potential to take on many other functions.
TUBO represents a rejection of conformity, a bold statement of individuality. TUBO reveals only what it wishes to show, jealously guarding its secrets
TUBO is rebellious, a challenge to what is considered classic. TUBO is a cylindrical resin shell with a press-formed mirrored steel sheet, but it is also much more...
In a world that needs curves more than edges, TUBO establishes itself as a contemporary design object.
