About the Item

Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed a series of ‘Servi’ or service pieces. The series began in 1961, with more added over a number of years. Produced by Zanotta, they included tables, a valet stand, coat rack, mirror stand, ashtray stand and various other pieces. This is the servofuma, or ‘smoke service’. This one has been fully restored and never used for smoking, so it has many possible uses. Makes a great alternative to a vide poche in the office or entrance, to take spare change, keys, phone etc or as a hold-all for pens and all the bits and pieces that clutter a desk. There are a multitude of alternative uses this could be put to. The sleek appearance, perfect height, well balanced weight and easy maneuverability of the piece have been so well designed. I fancy filling it with candies and keeping it near the sofa for a night of serious movie streaming. Or, of course, fill it with sand and use it as it was intended, as an ash tray. Note that the inner basket, designed for sifting cigarette butts out of the sand in the bowl, is missing in this example.
