Designed in 1957 by Bruno Munari, the Cubo ashtray has become a design classic thanks to its minimalist form and functionality. An indispensable, yet discreet and elegant, desk accessory for all smokers. A folded aluminium strip fits into a melamine cube so that the ash simply falls inside, leaving the exterior of the ash tray clean. Cubo presents the philosophy of the Danese brand: the timeless elegance and modernity of an object where form meets function.
Since its creation in 1957, Danese’s philosophy has been to respond to human needs while following society's evolution. The brand collaborates with renowned Italian designers such as Enzo Mari and Bruno Munari. Objects used in daily life are reinterpreted in a contemporary and timeless way, demonstrated by the Formosa and Bilancia wall calendars. Danese favours essential forms with particular focus on the environment and manufacturing methods. Each product is designed to satisfy the function for which it was created, without frills, yet always with remarkable aesthetics.
