Ichendorf company history began back in the early years of the twentieth century in a small town near Cologne, named Quadrath-Ichendorf. There, many master-glaziers used a mix of substances, among which was silica, to give shape to objects able to meet the refined taste of that period. Stylistic code defined by precious ornaments, which had the undiscussed leading role of the collections proposed up until the fifties of the past century, when a very important change is established: to favor clean shape and purity of material. Old form and adornment were abolished, in an endless search for new, popular and no longer exclusive appearances. That leads us to the creation of modern designed objects. In 1990 Ichendorf style center is established in Milan, creative point of convergence of artists and designers.

The strength of the brand is also linked to the longevity of its collections, some of which has been on the market for over 50 years. Every single object is a new story, a new adventure through which designers and artists come in contact with
the very heart of the material, to get its unlimited possibilities. Every creation combines different signs in a single poetic shape, able to enclose a continuous search for details, always respecting history and expertise. It’s a challenge that
takes its start from curiosity towards the material and its manufacturing to create a synergy between modern decoration and a very traditional material. It’s a very long meticulous collaboration work, which guarantees the longevity of Ichendorf objects in time.
