Poised between sculpture and utility, the Ichendorf Kokeshi wine stemmed glass by Denis Guidone distills the essence of balance and proportion. Its name pays homage to traditional Japanese Kokeshi dolls, reimagined here through the clarity and precision of Italian craftsmanship. The silhouette is pure, linear, and timeless: a dialogue between East and West, tradition and contemporary design.

Transparency as a Design Language

Every Kokeshi wine goblet is handcrafted in borosilicate glass, a material celebrated for its resistance, lightness, and luminous transparency. Each piece is flame-worked by Ichendorf’s master artisans, ensuring impeccable finesse and durability. With a capacity of 25 cl, it’s ideal for serving wine, aperitifs, or even elegant mocktails. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C / 104 °F recommended), this modern stemmed glass is designed for everyday use while maintaining its delicate refinement. When washing by hand, handle the bowl gently and avoid twisting the stem; a care ritual that preserves its artistry.

Dialogue Between Form and Function

This handmade borosilicate goblet captures Guidone’s minimalist philosophy, merging geometric purity with a poetic aesthetic. It’s a piece that complements any table setting, from formal dinners to relaxed moments of introspection. The Kokeshi wine glass finds perfect harmony alongside the Kokeshi water stemmed glass and Kokeshi flute, completing a refined trio within the Denis Guidone x Ichendorf collaboration. Its style also resonates naturally with their handmade borosilicate tumblers and creative jugs or pitchers, extending a shared visual rhythm across the table.

Design Simplicity, Emotional Resonance

Guidone’s design speaks softly yet decisively: it celebrates the beauty of reduction and proportion. The Kokeshi wine stemmed glass embodies the calm sophistication that defines Ichendorf, objects created not merely to be used, but to inspire. A gesture of refinement, clarity, and timeless artistry.
