Ichendorf Cactus Green Hourglass Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi

Cactus Verde Clessidra by Ichendorf is an original collectible that belongs to the poetic and surprising Desert Plants collection by designer Alessandra Baldereschi.

Made of mouth-blown borosilicate glass, this hourglass evokes the shape of a small stylized cactus, playing with transparencies and shades of green that recall the warm and natural colours of the desert. The handcrafted glass encloses within it a central silhouette reminiscent of a cactus, while fine sand flows slowly from one chamber to the other, inviting contemplation of passing time. This hourglass is perfect for display on a desk, shelf or in a meditative space, adding an element of reinvented nature to the home environment. Ichendorf, with its long tradition in glassmaking, renews the language of contemporary design through pieces that combine craftsmanship, imagination, and an evocative aesthetic.
