The ashtray in several colour variations is one of the objects Hofman designed for the Artěl cooperative between 1911 and 1920.

Vlastislav Hofman (1884 - 1964)

Paintings, designs for architecture, furniture and applied arts, posters for theatre plays, scenographic works, costumes and theoretical essays - we can look at Vlastislav Hofman as a versatile Renaissance personality, and his work as a work full of invention and intellectual overlap.
