4637 Ashtray by Anna Castelli Ferrieri for Kartell, 1970s
Black plastic ashtray designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri for Kartell, model 4637, diameter 18 cm, smaller than the 4638. Kartell, an Italian brand, has identified its style with the use of plastic materials, often lending them an appeal that this material often lacked. In good condition, with no cracks, but some stains and signs of aging.
Founded by Giulio Castelli, a chemical engineer who graduated from the Polytechnic, thanks to his knowledge of polypropylene he developed and introduced plastic into Italian homes. Kartell's objects have revalued a material that was perceived as poor. Combining design with innovation, thanks to Milanese designers such as Zanuso, Gardella, Anna Ferrieri (his wife), he managed to exalt this material.
