Close Magic

Dichroic Bubble Dome

$1,750

Named for the height of illusionary skill, Close Magic is an extraordinarily mesmerizing variant of our crystal domed ashtray. We've paired a dichroic dome coating with a bright nickel finish to give all of the shiny, shimmery, bubbly feels.

Only 30 of these hypnotic sets exist. Truly a magical gift.

Product Details

We partnered with Bavaria’s premier glass innovator, Stumpe Glas, and Czechia’s prestige crystal foundry, Bomma, to craft Close Magic. They engineered every part to our exacting specifications.

  • Micro-millimeter fit precision
  • Vapor-deposited dichroic coating on dome
  • Inset cork base
  • Nickel-plated solid brass sphere knocker
  • Easy disassembly for deep cleaning
  • Gentle smoke extinguishing
  • Limited to 30 sets
  • Hand-etched with unique number

Whatever rests in the base will sit correctly, ash cleanly, and extinguish fully under the dome.

Close Magic ships in a custom wooden crate made in Germany. Please allow 2-3 business days for processing. We'll be in touch to confirm your shipping details ahead of dispatch.

Personalized Engraving

Customized engraving on the bottom of the ashtray is included free with purchase.

There is a 25 character (including spaces) limit.

NOTE: once engraved, Close Magic cannot be returned.

Manufacturing Provenance

We work with six family-run, prestige manufacturers across three European countries to produce each Close Magic set. Fifth-generation craftspeople. The same foundries and workshops that produce heritage work for Tiffany, Tom Dixon, and LVMH.

Proof of Originality

Close Magic is limited to just 30 sets. Each is individually numbered and comes with a un-reproducible proof of originality ensuring provenance and authenticity.

We modeled the mechanics of our proof on how Banksy's official representatives, Pest Control, validate his work.

  • Each set ships with a Jeremy Tinder designed letterpress card
  • Each card has a unique three word pass phrase written on the back
  • Every card is numerically keyed with its corresponding numbered set
  • The card is torn in half by hand, creating a unique tear pattern
  • We photograph and record this tear pattern, the unique pass phrase, the numeric matching, and keep this information on file.
  • We will validate authenticity through careful examination of these proofs
  • Do not dispose of the included card

PROOF OF ORIGINALITY

The Object is limited to just 230 sets. Each is individually numbered and comes with an un-reproducible proof of originality.

We modeled the mechanics on how Banksy's official representatives, Pest Control, validate his work. Each Object ships with a Jeremy Tinder designed letterpress card, printed at San Francisco's Aesthetic Union. The card is torn in half by hand — we photograph the tear, the unique three-word passphrase, and the numeric match, and keep this on file.

Do not dispose of the included card.
