Concrete ashtray with polished, waterproofed finish and stainless steel container. At approximately 70 cm height designed for standing use. The polished finish gives the element an architectural presence suited to formal entrances, station forecourts, and urban dwell zones with a carefully chosen material palette.
The smoking point on the pedestrian route
The Sócrates Cenicero 70® is designed for standing use on busy pedestrian routes. At approximately 70 cm height the ashtray point is at elbow height for a standing adult — the ergonomically correct height for a smoking point along a pedestrian axis. This makes the element suited for main building entrances, transport hub forecourts, and designated smoking zones along urban promenades. The visibility of the element at 70 cm also makes it recognisable as a wayfinding marker: visitors see from a distance where the smoking point is and are directed to the right place.
Concrete and stainless steel as a material pair
The body of the Sócrates Cenicero® is cast concrete with natural stone aggregates, polished and waterproofed. The polished finish gives the element a dense, light-reflecting surface quality that matches the architectural presence of the Sócrates bench in polished version. The internal container is AISI 316-L stainless steel — the grade also used in marine environments for its high resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt, and organic residues. This material choice makes the container resistant to cigarette residue and outdoor weather conditions without periodic retreatment.
Material consistency in the dwell zone
The Sócrates Cenicero® uses the same concrete mix, the same finishing processes, and the same colour palette as the Sócrates seating elements and the rest of the Escofet concrete collection. A smoking zone designed with Sócrates benches and Sócrates Ceniceros reads as a coherent material statement — not a patchwork of different suppliers, but a considered choice for unity of material and form in outdoor public space. The stainless steel container is easily accessible for the cleaning service and can be emptied quickly without dismantling the concrete body.
The complete smoking point as part of the project
A smoking zone requires more than one element. The Sócrates Cenicero® works best when the surroundings follow the same concrete logic: Sócrates benches at the right height (Cenicero 40® beside benches, Cenicero 70® on pedestrian routes), bollards and planters in matching finish and colour. Servibo supplies through the Escofet and Urbidermis collections a complete palette of complementary elements for the design of outdoor public space including smoking infrastructure and coordinates delivery through a single point of contact for Belgium and Luxembourg. Specification texts for the Sócrates Cenicero® are available on request.
Frequently asked questions
How is the stainless steel container of the Sócrates Cenicero® emptied?
The container is accessible from the top of the element. The cleaning service can remove and empty the container without dismantling the concrete body. For specific information on the cleaning procedure and container volume: contact Servibo.
Can the Sócrates Cenicero® be used outdoors in rain and frost?
Yes. The body is cast concrete with a waterproofing treatment, suitable for long-term outdoor use in all weather conditions. The stainless steel container in AISI 316-L is corrosion-resistant and withstands moisture, salt, and organic residues. Periodic cleaning of the container is recommended.
Can the Sócrates Cenicero® be combined with the Sócrates benches in the same environment?
Yes. The Sócrates Cenicero® uses the same concrete mix and colour palette as the Sócrates Banca 240®, 360®, and the Sócrates Cubo®. A zone featuring both benches and ashtrays in the same concrete finish reads as a coherent material statement — deliberately designed for a specific public space.

2 anchorage bolts M16 x 140
Stable Placement with Careful Installation
The Sócrates Cenicero 70 in polished finish requires secure anchoring on a flat and prepared surface. The polished finish not only adds elegance but also demands precise placement to prevent damage.
Precise Fixation
With 40 mm drill holes and anchoring using resin or mortar, a secure placement is guaranteed. The bolts provide durable and stable positioning, even in high-traffic areas.
Protection During Transport and Installation
Protective polyester lifting straps are used during installation to safeguard the surface. Careful alignment ensures both the aesthetic appeal and stability of the element.
