Amalfi: Water Glass Set of 8

Description

A clear, handmade and mouth-blown crystal water glass from Ichendorf Milano’s Amalfi Collection, with simple, balanced proportions that highlight the clarity of the material. Its form is understated yet thoughtful, emphasising both elegance and practical usability.

Designed by Marco Sironi, an architect with experience in construction, yacht, and furnishings design, the glass reflects his approach to precision and material sensitivity. His work combines functional clarity with refined form, creating pieces that are both considered and practical, with attention to how they feel and interact with the user.

Made to be practical yet refined, it is suitable for regular use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures—ideally up to 40°C—to maintain the clarity and quality of the crystal. The result is a versatile piece that blends modern design with traditional craftsmanship.

Dimensions: Ø 7.8 x 16 cm

Ichendorf Milano

The story of Ichendorf began in the early 20th century in the town of Quadrath-Ichendorf, near Cologne. In these early years, master-glaziers worked with materials such as silica to craft intricate objects that reflected the refined taste of the time. These pieces, adorned with elaborate ornamentation, were a hallmark of Ichendorf’s collections until the mid-20th century.

A pivotal change came in the 1950s, when the focus shifted towards simplicity, favouring clean lines and the purity of materials. This departure from ornate decoration ushered in a new era, defined by modern, accessible designs.

In 1990, the Ichendorf style centre was established in Milan, becoming a hub for artistic collaboration. Here, artists and designers work closely with the very essence of the material, blending tradition with innovation to create poetic forms. This meticulous collaboration honours the expertise of master-glazers while embracing modern creativity, ensuring Ichendorf’s objects stand the test of time.

Ichendorf’s materials range from stoneware, introduced in 2019, to traditional glass, crystal, and borosilicate. Each piece reflects the ongoing dialogue between tradition and innovation, always with the pursuit of beauty at its core. Today, Ichendorf collections bring elegance, delicacy, and brilliance into homes, seamlessly connecting the past with the present.
