MCM-007 — Holger Bäckström & Bo Ljungberg — Ultima 15 Cast Aluminum Ashtray, Diverse Ting Denmark, MCM

A refined and collectible mid-century modern Danish design object — the Ultima 15 ashtray, designed by Holger Bäckström and Bo Ljungberg for Diverse Ting, Denmark. A beautifully resolved piece of Scandinavian industrial design featuring a sculpted cast aluminum grid-like top on a sleek black metal base.

The Ultima 15 is a recognized and collected example of mid-century Scandinavian design — functional, geometric, and quietly authoritative. Its industrial aesthetic sits comfortably alongside Danish modern furniture and other Scandinavian collectibles of the period.
