The Ichendorf Coffee&T Tea Cup reinvents the pleasure of drinking tea with contemporary design and vibrant color. Created by Astrid Luglio, the cup belongs to the Coffee&T collection, where everyday rituals are celebrated through glass objects that blend practicality with aesthetic character. Handmade in borosilicate glass, the cup is light yet durable, its shades adding depth and sophistication to the table. The transparency of the material, enriched by color, invites the eye to linger before each sip, making the experience as visual as it is tactile.
Designed with versatility
Available as both a coffee cup and a teacup, and in colors such as petrol, yellow, and green, the Coffee&T line adapts to different moods and interiors. Luglio’s design language emphasizes playfulness combined with function, turning simple shapes into striking details. Her approach reflects the philosophy that even the smallest object can enrich daily rituals if designed with care. Each piece is lampworked by artisans, and subtle differences reflect its handmade origin. These slight variations, whether in the intensity of the shade or in the delicate curve of the handle, ensure that no two cups are exactly alike, adding to their collectible charm.
Part of a modular collection
The cup is not a standalone piece but part of a larger narrative. It can be enjoyed with the Ichendorf Botanica collection, Ichendorf pitchers and jugs, Ichendorf teapots, or other WD Lifestyle tumblers, allowing design lovers to create a coordinated table. Each pairing highlights different aspects of the cup: with Botanica, the emphasis is on organic motifs; with Teapots, the ritual of serving becomes elevated; with Pitchers & Jugs, conviviality is emphasized. Whether for an afternoon tea with friends or a solitary ritual, the cup provides both comfort and style. It invites the user to slow down, to observe color and form, and to rediscover the elegance hidden in everyday gestures.
A modern collectible
The Coffee&T Tea Cup appeals to collectors of contemporary teaware, design enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to enrich their daily life with a splash of color and a story. Its durability and resistance, ensured by borosilicate glass, make it suitable for modern living, while its design places it firmly in the realm of collectible art. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures, it blends seamlessly into everyday use without losing its artisanal value. Internationally admired, it is not just a cup, but an emblem of Ichendorf’s ability to merge color, design, and ritual in one timeless creation. As a gift, it speaks of refinement and imagination; as a personal purchase, it becomes a loyal companion for countless tea moments, each time renewing the joy of design at the table.
