It was designed in 1925 for the renowned French architect and designer, Le Corbusier. The ashtray is made of brass and was designed with a simple yet elegant shape.

It is a great addition to any home or office and is an iconic piece of design history. About designer: Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) she was born in Paris in 1903 and attended the École de l'Union centrale des Arts décoratifs from 1920-1925. Charlotte Perriand designed furniture made of anodized aluminum and chromium-plated steel, showing it at the 1927 Salon d'Automne in Paris. After meeting Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand worked with him and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937. The revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture designed by the three were presented as Équipement de l'habitation (home equipment) at the 1929 Salon d'Automne, where they were widely acclaimed. In 1930 the Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris, a group that viewed itself as a countermovement challenging such establishment organizations as the Salon d'Automne and also advocated Art Deco and Modernism. from 1931 Charlotte Perriand showed her own work solo there. In 1937 Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on designing a mountain chalet of sheet aluminum, which they showed at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne and later they came up with plans for prefab houses made of aluminum. In 1940 Charlotte Perriand became a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade. She lived in Japan until 1946 and from then on Charlotte Perriand's designs reveal overtones of the Japanese feeling for form, as shown by the 1953 chair Synthèse des Arts. Charles-E´douard Jeanneret-Gris, who was better known as Le Corbusier (1887-1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, and the Americas. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning and was a founding member of the Congre`s international d'architecture moderne (CIAM). Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there.
