Iride ashtray

2020 / for Purho Murano

Iride is a collection of ashtrays comprised of three different circular
models with engravings drawn from the collection of pots, plus one
— Iride Cut — with two flat sides and vertical ribbed decoration as if
created by a cutting blade. Realized by alternating bands of glass,
coloured and crystal, which form circular patterns that are very clear
when viewed from above, ride ashtrays almost resemble an eye formed
by the central pupil and coloured iris, from which the collection derives
its name.
The circular models, similar in shape, are distinguished by the different
finish of the external surface: Iride Stripe characterised by horizontal
and vertical stripes, Iride Plissé by horizontal pleating and Iride Sand
by coarse sandblasting.
