The Historical Archive Reissues faithfully reproduce ceramics that Aldo Londi created between the 1950s and the 1970s. The originals are kept today in the Bitossi Archive in Montelupo Fiorentino. Each reissue carries the inventory number of the original piece on its base, together with the historic brand name Cav. G. Bitossi & Figli.
As art director, Londi opened a season of research into glazes and materials at Bitossi. The copper glaze of this set shows that love for experiment very clearly. On a desk, a coffee table or a bookcase, the two pieces work as small objects of art. They also make an elegant gift for a lover of mid-century design.


100% Made in Italy
The Bitossi Ceramiche ARCHIVIO STORICO box and ashtray set reissues a 1965 design by Aldo Londi. It brings together two flat rectangular pieces with a raised metallic-grey frame. The box lid is divided into a grid of small squares, while the ashtray shows a free pattern of lines. Both are finished in an oxidising copper glaze with green and blue grits. The result is a deep, vibrant blue, like the bottom of a lagoon. It is produced in a limited edition of 199 pieces.
