THE BLOCK CIGAR ASHTRAY

Raw and reduced, handmade in the studio in Ittigen. The power of The Block lies in its simplicity. The high-quality ashtray made of concrete is a clear statement for aficionados and design enthusiasts: no frills, just straight lines. Designed by managing director Markus Friedli, this cements his love of architecture and monolithic design with the building material concrete.  

The production process takes several days – from the manufacture of the wooden formwork and reinforcement to the casting and complete drying. After that, the raw block is given the finishing touches: the finishing with the signature of the Bernese artist Micha Häni aka Vierwind. The Block – a force to be reckoned with. 

Note: Due to the handmade nature of each piece, the texture and coloring may vary slightly, adding to the uniqueness of each ashtray.
