The unpredictability of the stories and the extravagance of the characters

The story that comes from every object in the Woodtales collection, from jugs to glasses, from candlesticks to pendants, is never as we would have expected, and this makes it more compelling and fun what happens on the scene. The unpredictability of the stories and the extravagance of the characters seem to retrace the imaginative, sometimes surreal mechanisms that children draw on when they invent stories or when they simply immerse themselves in their games.

Otto, the dachshund, seraphic and sly, enlightens us with his presence

Woodland animals but also pets, next to us inside and outside the home. Alessandra Baldereschi for Serralunga redesigns everyday life, the most faithful one, with her personal stylistic code. Otto is a stylized dachshund with an essential line and a seraphic, sly and ironic pose.

A quiet and wise companion animal. Otto has his eyes closed but he is not sleeping: he is waiting and he watching us, placidly, with indulgence. With a polyethylene structure, the cute dachshund is also available with a rechargeable LED system, to enlighten us even more with its presence.

Greenwood: fruits, berries and flowers take shape with delicacy

Inspired by a walk in the woods in different seasons, the Greenwood collection designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for Ichendorf Milano returns the colors and the simple but precious gifts that nature bestows on us. Fruits of the forest, berries and the little flowers that are encountered during the stroll decorate the porcelain. They seem freshly picked and placed delicately on the plates to compose hinted and polite ornaments.

From glass to porcelain, the common denominator is the polite gesture

Now the collection, which is known for its borosilicate elements ranging from tumblers, jugs, and components for tea and coffee (see here), has been expanded with mugs and plates in porcelain. There are 6 different subjects (cherry, blackberry, acorn, lily, strawberry, and blueberry) featuring hand-crafted and hand-painted three-dimensional elements. A decoration is applied to each dinner plate, fruit plate, bowl, and mug to create a complete table setting.
