La Donna

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.
