The Ichendorf Pleats footed dish designed by Denis Guidone transforms the dining table into a stage where form and function coexist in perfect harmony. Its distinctive pleated texture captures light in subtle movements, creating an elegant rhythm that draws the eye without ever overwhelming the composition. Whether used as a dessert stand, fruit display, or decorative centerpiece, this handmade crystal piece embodies the sculptural precision and minimalist poetry typical of Ichendorf. Each reflection on its surface tells a story of craftsmanship elevated to pure design.

Artisan craftsmanship meets design discipline

Every Pleats footed dish is mouth-blown and handcrafted from crystal, shaped by the steady hands of Italian artisans who have inherited centuries-old glassmaking traditions. The pleated surface is created while the crystal is still molten, producing soft vertical folds that play with light and transparency. Despite its visual lightness, the piece offers remarkable stability thanks to its balanced pedestal base. It is dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C recommended), ensuring that daily use never compromises its brilliance or structure. The result is a tactile, luminous, and unmistakably contemporary refined object.

A sculptural centerpiece of the Pleats collection

This elegant footed dish is part of the Pleats collection, where repetition and proportion define a visual language of quiet sophistication. Like the Pleats wine glass or Pleats water stemmed glass , it reflects Guidone’s architectural sensibility: linear folds become both decorative and structural, shaping the way light interacts with the surface. Perfectly at home in both modern and classic interiors, it can be beautifully paired with items from the Ichendorf Vases collection, creating a dialogue between transparency, material, and shadow — a union of utility and sculpture.

Functionality elevated to art

The Ichendorf Pleats footed dish is more than a serving accessory; it is an invitation to reimagine the act of presentation. Its broad plate, gently elevated on a slender base, offers a stage for fruit, pastries, or decorative objects. Every pleat enhances the perception of movement, amplifying the glass’s luminous clarity. This versatility and balance make it a quintessential piece within Ichendorf Footed Plates, where elegance and craftsmanship merge seamlessly. It embodies the timeless dialogue between Italian artistry and everyday beauty.
