Ichendorf Milano

ArteBrands is the official distributor of Ichendorf Milano in Poland and offers B2B cooperation for retailers, e-commerce businesses and corporate partners.
Glass that is easy to recognise
Ichendorf Milano designs glasses, stemware, jugs, carafes and other glass objects. Many collections are made from borosilicate glass, which allows for lightweight forms and precise, hand-crafted details.
The brand is particularly known for collections featuring animal figures, plants and colourful elements placed inside the glass. Series such as Animal Farm show this approach especially well. Alongside them, Ichendorf also develops simpler collections of table glassware, stemware and carafes.
The brand collaborates with international designers. Each collection has its own formal language, while glass and the way it is worked remain at the core of every design.
Borosilicate glass and handcrafted details
Ichendorf Milano collections use borosilicate glass, traditional glass and crystal. Borosilicate glass plays a particularly important role, allowing the brand to create very lightweight pieces, thin walls and precise, delicate details.
Colourful animal figures, flowers and other elements are shaped from glass and incorporated directly into the objects. They appear inside glasses, on jug handles or as small decorative details. These features have become especially characteristic of Ichendorf Milano collections, particularly Animal Farm and Botanica.
Each design is built around the properties of glass: its transparency, colour and the possibility of shaping even very small, intricate forms.
Ichendorf Milano glasses and glassware
Ichendorf Milano is a brand specialising in table glassware and objects for serving drinks. Its range includes glasses, stemware, mugs, cups, jugs, carafes and bottles made from glass, crystal and borosilicate glass.
Ichendorf’s history began in the early 20th century in Quadrath-Ichendorf, Germany. Until the 1950s, its collections were strongly influenced by ornamentation. Later, the brand moved towards simpler shapes and a greater focus on the material itself. Since 1990, its design centre has been based in Milan, where it works with designers from different countries.
A significant part of the current range consists of Ichendorf Milano glasses featuring animal figures, flowers and colourful details. Small glass elements appear inside the vessel or on its surface. The individual series can be easily combined, while each retains its own theme and set of forms.
Ichendorf Milano works well for homeware stores, concept stores, e-commerce and gift selections. ArteBrands is the official distributor of Ichendorf Milano in Poland and provides B2B sales.
