The Ichendorf Pleats flute, designed by Denis Guidone for Ichendorf, transforms the simple act of toasting into an experience of light, rhythm, and texture. Each flute is a dialogue between structure and delicacy, its pleated surface catching reflections like silk folded by hand. The design reimagines the timeless champagne glass through an architectural lens, where geometry and craftsmanship merge into perfect harmony. It embodies the quiet strength of Italian design: modern, minimal, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Crafted by hand, defined by precision
Every flute is mouth-blown and handmade in crystal, the result of skilled artisanship that captures the essence of transparency and form. The vertical pleats, precisely drawn into the glass while molten, give each piece a tactile identity that’s both visual and sensorial. The fine rim and elongated stem reflect meticulous proportions, ensuring a perfect balance between elegance and practicality. Resistant yet light, the Pleats flute is dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C recommended), retaining its luminous brilliance through time and use. It is an object born to endure, crafted for those who appreciate refined gestures.
The poetry of proportion
The Pleats flute captures the very moment when celebration meets design. Its vertical texture enhances the clarity of sparkling wine, transforming bubbles into lines of light that dance within the glass. The silhouette, slim and architectural, feels timeless yet resolutely modern. Designed for formal dinners or intimate gatherings, it turns every toast into an expression of aesthetic pleasure. Each sip feels heightened by the flute’s balance, where weight, volume, and transparency are orchestrated with quiet precision.
Designed to harmonize
This crystal flute belongs to the Ichendorf Pleats collection, where Denis Guidone explores the sculptural potential of glass through movement and repetition. Together with the Pleats jug and the other Ichendorf stem glasses, it forms a cohesive ensemble that elevates any contemporary table setting. The design also integrates seamlessly with the Denis Guidone × Ichendorf collaboration, known for its architectural clarity and modern restraint. Each piece shares a single design philosophy — beauty revealed through light, geometry, and touch.
Italian artistry for the modern table
The Ichendorf Pleats flute embodies a refined sense of celebration, where craftsmanship and emotion intertwine. Its textured pleats recall the folds of fine fabric, while its crystal clarity expresses Ichendorf’s passion for transparency and material purity. Perfect for champagne, prosecco, or sparkling cocktails, it enhances every drink with grace and brilliance. More than a glass, it is an object of design: one that reflects the elegance of Italian craftsmanship and transforms any occasion into a ritual of beauty.
