Dimensions: Ø 12 x 24.5 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. Browse the Ichendorf Milano Collection
