Savannah, designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for Ichendorf Milano, is an evocative glassware collection that brings wildlife, exotic flora and the warmth of distant landscapes to the contemporary dining table. Each piece combines the purity of clear glass with meticulous, hand-modelled coloured glass sculpture on the inside, transforming every glass into a small, contemplative scene where design and nature meet.
Handcrafted from mouth-blown borosilicate glass and flame-worked, these glasses stand out for their visual lightness and thermal resistance, making them ideal for everyday use. The collection offers a selection of iconic motifs inspired by the flora and fauna of the great plains and desert landscapes: crocodile, pink monkey, panda, chameleon, cheetah, white elephant, palm tree, eagle and camel. The entire collection is dishwasher-safe; gentle cycles at low temperatures are recommended to preserve the shine and colour accuracy of each figure.
Models Available in the Collection:
- Cheetah: A figurative glass design featuring the warm tones and characteristic spots of the African feline.
- White Elephant: An opaque white glass sculpture depicting the silhouette of an elephant.
