Founded in 1823, Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal. Oswald Haerdtl, a student of Josef Hoffmann and a key figure in post-war Modernism, brought a sense of lightness and sophistication to his designs. His collaboration with Lobmeyr resulted in iconic pieces that blend architectural precision with the delicate beauty of crystal, creating objects that transcend mere functionality to become works of art.

“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.
