Originally conceived as the base of a table lighter, the lighter mechanism has been removed, leaving behind a recessed center that allows the piece to take on an entirely new function as a petite vide poche or decorative vessel.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe travertine displays all of the characteristics that make the material so appealing: irregular pores, fine fissures and subtle shifts from pale ivory to warmer beige. Rather than feeling overly polished, these natural variations give the stone a tactile, architectural quality and ensure that the object reads as distinctly one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderful example of mid-century Italian design in which an everyday object was elevated through material and form. Its restrained proportions make it particularly easy to incorporate into an interior, whether placed on a desk, bedside table, entry console or layered over a favorite stack of books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50085247287434,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Small_Italian_Travertine_Catchall_-_Italy_c.1970_2.jpg?v=1787634637","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/small-italian-travertine-catchall-italy-c-1970","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
