Stone, glass, metal and scent: a new way to live the home
Henge unveils its new Home Collection, a curated universe of objects that translates the brand’s material soul into the rituals of everyday living. Conceived as an invitation to slow down, the collection brings together tableware, glass, metal trays and a home fragrance, conceived as an invitation to slow down and to live the home with more care.
At its heart is Rever, the new tableware collection designed by Ugo Cacciatori. From the French rêver, “to dream”, Rever is the moment in which the dream takes form in matter: an invitation to experience the table as presence, encounter and ritual. The collection is built on pairs of plates in varying sizes, conceived to interact: small and large plates, small and large serving plates, and charger plates, each offered as a set of two. Coinciding, complementary geometries generate ever-shifting compositions, balancing rigor and freedom, with crisp lines and angled edges, softened by the weight and texture of the stone.
Three rare French marbles shape its identity: Rouge Languedoc, which echoes the theatricality of the Grand Trianon in Versailles; Napoléon, which carries an imperial resonance tied to Northern France; and Gris Cévenol, which introduces a quieter, contemporary balance. Handcrafted in the artisan workshops of Carrara, each piece is cut, shaped and sculpted to highlight the natural veins, then finely polished or bush-hammered. Polished areas meet raw textures, revealing the mark of process, while light settles and shifts, altering perception over time. Form is designed; surface is left to nature, making every plate one of a kind.

The collection extends to hand-blown Murano glass, crafted with the ancient sommerso technique, in which a coloured layer of glass is encased within a transparent one, creating a suspended, luminous and deep colour effect. Tumblers, wine glasses, water carafe, decanter and whisky sets are mouth-blown into wooden moulds, then hand-ground, polished and individually signed by sandblasting. The Citrine hue, an exclusive blend inspired by the warm, golden tones of citrine quartz, completes a dialogue between glass and stone, transparency and mass.
The collection also includes RIPPLE, designed by Yabu Pushelberg: trays forged in Sand Cast BB Silver or Sand Cast Gold that mould flat, inert materiality into fluidly organic, biomorphic shapes. Available in three sizes, the trays become interlocked vessels of a story, fragments evoking emotion.

Completing the collection is Henge Fragrance #34, the brand’s first home fragrance. Named after the showroom at Via della Spiga 34 in Milan, the fragrance blends vibrant Mediterranean top notes of Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemon and jasmine with a textured heart of frankincense, Virginia tobacco and Russian leather. The base reveals warm, grounding notes of patchouli, amber, oud and rare fossil woods such as swamp oak, echoing the brand’s connection to elemental materials and timeless processes. Presented in a sculptural diffuser, Henge Fragrance #34 releases its scent gently through reed sticks, creating a subtle and continuous presence in the space.
