The piece
The Spirale Ashtray, designed by Achille Castiglioni for Alessi in 1970, is a minimalist design icon characterized by its simple coiled steel wire base. Available in 12 cm or 16 cm diameter, it embodies Castiglioni’s talent for elevating everyday objects through clarity and elegance.

The designer
A central figure in Italian design history, Achille Castiglioni transformed everyday objects into icons of ironic luxury. Working from Milan, his philosophy was grounded in "anonymous design" and functionality driven by wit. He is essential for pieces like the Arco lamp or the Mezzadro stool, where he decontextualized industrial elements to create home furniture. His relevance lies in blending engineering with playful aesthetics. For a collector, owning a Castiglioni means possessing a piece of Italian industrial innovation that remains timeless.

The brand
Alessi is known as the "Dream Factory" of Italian design. Founded in 1921, it transformed the kitchenware and home accessories sector by inviting architects to work with metal. Under Alberto Alessi's vision, pieces like the Juicy Salif juicer by Philippe Starck or the kettle by Michael Graves ceased to be mere utensils and became icons of postmodernism. Alessi represents the perfect fusion of industrial production and art. Buying an original Alessi means bringing a museum piece to your table, crafted in high-quality stainless steel, combining irony, functionality, and timeless aesthetics.
