The Ichendorf Pleats water glass embodies the essence of balance and lightness that defines Italian design. Created by Denis Guidone for Ichendorf, it turns everyday gestures into a refined visual experience. The distinctive pleated texture wraps the crystal in vertical rhythm, creating delicate plays of light that animate its surface. Each reflection reveals the harmony between geometry and emotion, translating craftsmanship into pure visual poetry. Minimal yet expressive, it is the kind of object that elevates the table without ever drawing attention to itself: quietly beautiful, unmistakably modern.

Precision in every curve

Each Pleats water stem glass is mouth-blown and handmade in crystal, the result of time-honored glassmaking techniques carried out by skilled artisans. The fine pleats are engraved while the material is still molten, ensuring a tactile elegance that feels both contemporary and timeless. Its thin rim enhances the pleasure of every sip, while the long stem provides balance and grace. Despite its apparent delicacy, it is dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C recommended), preserving its brilliance over years of use. The craftsmanship mirrors Ichendorf’s philosophy: constant pursuit of lightness and perfection through form and function.

A sculptural approach to everyday design

The Pleats collection reflects Denis Guidone’s architectural background: repetition, rhythm, and proportion create a sense of controlled movement within every piece. The water glass completes the series alongside the Pleats wine glass and Pleats flute, forming a coherent dialogue of shapes that harmonize on the table. Whether paired with the Ichendorf bottles collection or mixed with other modern designs, its transparency makes it a versatile companion to any setting, from contemporary minimalism to refined classic interiors.

Elegance redefined

The Ichendorf Pleats water stemmed glass is not only a drinking vessel but a symbol of aesthetic restraint. Its vertical pattern enhances reflections of natural and artificial light, giving the illusion of movement as it catches every shimmer in the room. Designed for daily use yet conceived as a collectible piece, it resonates with the craftsmanship that has made Ichendorf Stemmed Glasses an icon of Italian glassmaking. Perfect for water, juice, or refined cocktails, it invites you to rediscover the elegance of simplicity, one glass at a time.
