The first piece
Fortress
A cigar ashtray built like architecture. Heavy, quiet, and designed to protect the ritual from the wind.
Fortress · Ivory
One object. Nothing to add, nothing to take away.
A deep well for the ash, a single rest cut into the wall, and a base that sits flat and heavy. Fortress does the one thing an ashtray must do, and does it without decoration.

Design
Drawn from the citadel.
Thick walls, a notched rampart, feet like footings. The proportions come from fortification, not tableware — mass that protects the moment of a slow cigar. The guard lifts off; the tray stands alone. Every edge is a plane, every corner a right angle.
Mass
Substantial weight and a low, stable stance keep Fortress composed on the table.
Rest
A single cut in the wall holds the cigar without pinching the wrapper.
Guard
The removable guard helps shield the ash from the wind outdoors and lifts away indoors.
