Ichendorf Milano | Carafe Desert Plants | Water Bottle Green Cactus

The Karaf Desert Plants is a water bottle featuring a glass cactus at the bottom of the bottle. This version has a green cactus with a pink flower. It is a design by Allessandra Balderischi for the Italian brand Ichendorf Milano. The Desert Plants series incorporates various cacti and desert plants. It forms a striking detail within the sleek forms of the glass and creates a humorous effect.

Design and material

The bottle is made of hand-blown borosilicate glass, a lightweight, strong, and heat-resistant material. This makes the glass excellent for daily use. It can even go in the dishwasher. However, for a longer lifespan, handwashing is naturally better. Use it at home during meals for water, soft drinks, or other beverages. But it is, of course, also a beautiful decorative object.
Each bottle is handmade. This means that each piece is slightly different and unique, like a small work of art.

Ichendorf Milano

The Ichendorf Milano collection consists of handmade glass objects. The company has a rich history, dating back to the early 20th century in Quadrath-Ichendorf, a small town near Cologne. Master glassmakers created objects with precious ornaments. This continued until the 1950s, when a preference for pure forms and material purity was introduced. This led to the creation of modern designed objects.
Since 1990, Ichendorf has been located in Milan, where, in collaboration with international designers, it has developed a beautiful collection produced all over the world. The collection consists of poetic design objects, created with respect for the material and the company's history and knowledge.
