Item Description
Elevate your design collection with this striking kinetic ashtray by celebrated French sculptor and designer Yonel Lebovici. Crafted in the 1970s, this piece exemplifies Lebovici’s signature fusion of functionality and conceptual art, transforming a utilitarian object into a captivating sculpture. Constructed from polished chrome-plated steel futuristic hemisphere, the ashtray incorporates a counterweight balance weight that creates subtle, playful movement with the lightest touch—an homage to the kinetic art movement and Lebovici’s deep interest in motion and interaction. Lebovici, known for his collaborations with Issey Miyake and presence in leading design galleries, produced his objects in very limited quantities, making his work highly sought after by collectors of 20th-century design and kinetic art. A true conversation piece, this ashtray is ideal for a curated interior, whether as a functional object or as a sculptural statement. Documented in the “Atelier A” book by Francoise Jollant Kneebone and Chloé Braunstein. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Own a piece of kinetic design history. Inquiries welcome.
