La Donna

$850

An enameled copper cigarette box designed for the aperitivo table, La Donna functions as both object and social instrument. Its form draws from terrace culture in late-1970s and 1980s Italy, where cigarette boxes were standard fixtures, and from female figures in Italian media and music, where smoking operated as gesture, timing, and display. The cylindrical body holds cigarettes upright, while a fitted lid — topped with a crescent form— lifts cleanly to open and close the container. 

Enameled copper, once prevalent in Italian decorative arts of the late 20th century and now less commonly seen.

5 ½” H x 2 ¾” D

Celebrating the ritual of aperitivo through the transportive energy of 1970s and 80s Italian disco glamour, the Disco Aperitivo collection was conceived during a year spent frequently in Milan, emerging from our growing fascination with the Italian aperitivo — a daily cultural passage from day to night that is at once casual and essential.
