Architectural Ashtrays

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kiso Ashtray is Made from Concrete and Looks Like a Building Foundation

— July 2, 2013 — Unique
These ‘Kiso’ ashtrays look like a building foundation. Although smoking is a terrible habit, if you are going to, do it with style. This building foundation ash tray looks like more of a modern piece of artwork, drawing attention away from the fact that it is kind of an unattractive thing to have in your home.

The ‘Kiso’ Ashtray is a great solution to having something generic that turns people off when they see an ash tray -- although, an even better solution would be to quit. The building foundation ashtray is separated into three different concrete rooms and it even comes with stairs, which gives the piece an added flare.

The Kiso building foundation ashtray can be used for a number of activities including smoking cigarettes or cigars.
Trend Themes
1. Artistic Ashtrays - Creating ashtrays that double as modern pieces of artwork, adding aesthetic value to smoking accessories.
2. Functional Design - Exploring innovative designs for ashtrays that serve multiple purposes, such as the Kiso ashtray with separate concrete rooms and stairs.
3. Smoking Accessories Revamp - Revamping traditional smoking accessories to create unique and visually appealing options, like the Kiso building foundation ashtray.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Opportunity for home decor companies to create unique and artistic ashtrays that elevate the design of smoking accessories.
2. Art and Sculpture - Integration of smoking accessories into art and sculpture markets, providing innovative and visually appealing options for smokers.
3. Outdoor Furnishings - Opportunity for outdoor furniture companies to incorporate artistic and functional ashtrays into their product lines, enhancing outdoor smoking experiences.
