About this piece
A small object made for a once-familiar gesture: offering a guest a cigarette. This Schoonhoven holder gave that everyday ritual a colourful place on the table. Its ‘Kastanje’ decoration brings autumn indoors, with chestnut leaves and seed cases winding around the body. The appeal lies in the attention given to something so ordinary: a useful little vessel with a design that rewards a closer look, long after the habits it served have changed.
