L'Anima della Velocità: The Soul of Speed

This page is an ode to my absolute favorite: the brand with the prancing horse. What you see here is not just an object; it is the result of pure passion.

Just as the iconic cars from Maranello are built with utmost precision and human dedication, these three epoxy ashtrays have been fully shaped by hand. It is my tribute to the aesthetics, the speed, and the soul of a legend. It is a personal "tributo" to the craftsmanship that has amazed the world for decades.

The History & The Logo: Where does it come from?

The story of Ferrari is inextricably linked to its founder, Enzo Ferrari.

The Beginning: Enzo was a racing driver for Alfa Romeo before founding his own company in 1939. It wasn't until 1947 that the very first true Ferrari (the 125 S) rolled out of the factory in Maranello.
The Logo (Il Cavallino Rampante): The black prancing horse was originally the emblem of Francesco Baracca, a legendary Italian fighter pilot from World War I.
The Meeting: In 1923, Enzo met Baracca’s parents. His mother, Countess Paolina, told Enzo: "Put my son's prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you luck." Enzo added the canary-yellow background—the color of his hometown, Modena—and the Italian tricolor at the top.

Epoxy ashtray Edizione Uno: Il Primo Esemplare

The First Creation: Raw Potential

My very first creation is a tribute to the origins of strength and simplicity. This piece is crafted from reclaimed lumber (steigerhout), a conscious choice that bridges the gap to the iconic prancing horse of Maranello.

Robust, raw, and pure. This object was never meant to be a polished final product, but rather a baptism of fire. It is a test on the racetrack, much like Enzo Ferrari’s first prototypes when they hit the track for the very first time: untamed, honest, and full of potential. It is the physical embodiment of a first vision coming to life.

The Second Creation: Precision and Perfection

My second creation marks the exact moment where passion takes shape in perfection. Where the first model was a raw test on the track, this piece is fully ready for the spotlights.

Crafted from premium oak wood: durable, light in color, and indestructibly powerful. The choice of oak symbolizes our constant drive for self-improvement. It is stronger, more refined, and built to withstand the heat of the moment—just as the engineering in Maranello never stands still. This is craftsmanship designed to stand the test of time; robust in quality, elegant in appearance.

Epoxy ashtray Edizione Tre: L’Eccellenza Assoluta

The Third Creation: The Limited Special Edition

Just as every legendary automotive brand has a limited flagship model that rises above all else, I proudly present my third edition. This is no ordinary object; this is a Limited Special Edition.

Crafted from a unique combination of materials and refined down to the smallest detail. For this piece, the soul of the reclaimed lumber has been elevated to an unprecedented level, inspired by the vision of top design architects. The result is a perfect balance between raw power and architectural sophistication.

This is the pinnacle of my passion. An ode to rarity and the relentless pursuit of the ultimate form. Created for the collector who understands that true beauty lies in the details that others overlook.
