TheIchendorf Desert Plants Box with Cactus is more than a storage box: it is a sculptural design piece that tells a story about resilience, beauty, and the fascination of nature. Conceived by Alessandra Baldereschi, the container captures the unmistakable silhouettes of desert flora and translates them into pure design language. Crafted by hand in borosilicate glass, it combines strength with lightness, transparency with durability, offering a unique balance between functionality and poetry. The object carries with it the dual soul of Ichendorf: everyday usability and collectible charm.

Design that surprises

The cactus motif, playful and unexpected, emerges with clarity and precision inside the glass. Like a miniature landscape frozen in time, the figure recalls the harsh beauty of arid environments and the life that flourishes within them. Alessandra Baldereschi x Ichendorf’s creative vision elevates what could be a simple container into a design narrative, an object that sparks curiosity and invites the eye to linger. Each cactus motif glass container is lampworked by artisans, resulting in subtle variations that underline its handmade origin. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures, the container offers practicality without compromising on artistic value.

A versatile companion

This container from the Desert Plants collection is adaptable to countless uses. It can hold candies for festive gatherings, jewelry for private rituals, spices that enrich culinary creations, or it can simply be admired as a striking decorative presence. The luminous transparency of borosilicate glass allows the motif to stand out, making the box equally at home in minimalist interiors or eclectic collections. Its presence elevates a shelf, table, or display case, introducing a note of humor and refinement. The durability of the glass ensures that the piece is not only beautiful but also reliable for everyday living.
