MAK Achtel Carafe

Hand-blown by Lobmeyr, AUT, c. 2026.
Designed by Peter Noever, c. 2005.

Marked in Jade Grain green at 750ml, the Achtel is a statement – for understatement. It was designed by Peter Noever, former director of the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art (MAK) in Vienna. Accordingly, it combines historic roots with the contemporary outlook of the MAK. Thanks to the hollow for the thumb, the tumbler is always “within your grasp.”

Founded in 1823, Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal. Their signature mousseline crystal, celebrated for its incredible thinness and strength, allows light to pass through in a way that feels almost weightless, creating an interplay of illumination often described as “living light.” Through six generations, Lobmeyr has built a legacy of collaboration with designers and architects, crafting pieces that transcend mere objects to become experiences of clarity, precision, and subtle sophistication.

“It has long captivated us in a quiet dance of light.”

Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal, celebrated for its signature mousseline crystal—incredibly thin, between 0.7 and 1.1 mm, yet remarkably strong. This unique quality allows light to pass through in a way that feels almost weightless, creating an interplay of illumination often described as “living light.” Each piece radiates a quiet brilliance, transforming crystal into an experience of clarity, precision, and subtle sophistication.

Through six generations, Lobmeyr has built a legacy of collaboration with designers and architects, crafting crystal chandeliers for icons such as the Vienna State Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Whether illuminating a grand stage or held in quiet reflection, their works transcend mere objects, inviting us to appreciate the artistry of light and the enduring beauty of refined tradition.
