The Ichendorf Rivoli tealight, designed by Mario Trimarchi, captures the delicate interplay between light and transparency. Entirely handmade and lampworked from borosilicate glass, this tealight holder reflects the poetic minimalism that defines Ichendorf Milano’s approach to design. With its pure cylindrical form and soft vertical profile, standing 21 cm tall, it transforms the flicker of a small flame into a dance of reflections. Each surface gently refracts the candle’s light, creating an atmosphere of warmth and serenity that enhances any table setting, shelf, or corner of the home. Trimarchi’s aesthetic is one of simplicity elevated to elegance, where glass becomes both medium and message.
Italian craftsmanship meets timeless clarity
Every Rivoli tealight holder is the result of meticulous artisanal work. The borosilicate glass, known for its resistance to heat and thermal shock, ensures both safety and durability, while maintaining an exceptional clarity that celebrates the purity of firelight. Its hand-lampworked technique allows the material to flow naturally, creating soft, fluid shapes that feel both precise and organic. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C recommended), it is designed for lasting use without losing its transparency or brilliance. The slender profile and lightweight design make it versatile: equally at home on a dining table, beside a vase of flowers, or as a quiet accent in a modern interior.
A warm companion for modern living
The Rivoli tealight blends harmoniously with other glassware from the Ichendorf Stemmed Glasses collection, mirroring the same purity of line and elegant proportions found in the Rivoli goblets and flutes. When paired with decorative pieces from Ichendorf Vases, it helps compose refined table landscapes and interior vignettes that celebrate transparency and light. Its height and slim contour enhance the candle’s flame, creating a luminous column that invites contemplation: a subtle nod to the meditative beauty of Italian design. Whether used as a single accent or in groups, it transforms ordinary spaces into serene environments filled with soft illumination.
The essence of the Rivoli collection
More than a candle holder, the Ichendorf Rivoli tealight is a statement of purity and proportion. Mario Trimarchi’s design captures the philosophy of Ichendorf: the pursuit of harmony through form and craftsmanship. It stands as a quiet symbol of warmth, elegance, and simplicity, where even the smallest light becomes art. Perfect for modern interiors and design lovers alike, this tealight brings a subtle architectural presence to any space, embodying the union between artisanal heritage and contemporary sensibility that defines the Rivoli collection.
