The Swedish tobacco company Svenska Tobaks – later Swedish Match – had a rather clever idea: they invited internationally renowned designers and architects to design something unimaginably banal – \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ean ashtray.\u003c\/span\u003e This was the birth of the BLEND Collection. The ashtrays were intended to promote the BLEND cigarette brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants invited were: \u003cstrong\u003eMarc Newson, Ettore Sottsass, Aldo Rossi, Jasper Morrison, Andrée Putman, Toshiyuki Kita, Love Arbén and Studio Garouste \u0026amp; Bonetti\u003c\/strong\u003e. The designs were presented on May 18, 1995, at the Design Museum in London. A book accompanied the exhibition. In 1996, the exhibition was also shown at the Louvre in Paris and subsequently at the Millesgården Museum in Stockholm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all the ashtrays were produced. They were never sold either, but were given away as promotional items! What that must have all cost.
