what’s life without a few indulgences and, considering most things that are fun will eventually kill you – new york-based designer joe doucet thought he’d herald the virtually extinct ashtray. the 24 karat gold-plated ‘fetish’ is an effortless form; a circle pinched together to hold a cigarette. ‘remember, don’t blame the much-maligned ashtray; it’s an innocent victim in the war against pleasure.’
