Thaï monkey cendrier

This ashtray, in the shape of a monkey's head, is inspired by Thailand. Made of black ceramic, it represents a stylized monkey with cartoon features, a cigarette in its mouth, and a beanie. The humorous and exaggerated details recall local pop culture influences, while alluding to the sad reality of monkeys in Thailand who are sometimes encouraged to smoke by tourists. An object that is both playful and provocative, it also serves as a warning about irresponsible interactions between humans and animals.
