the palais crystal pattern was designed by ludwig lobmeyr in 1870 and is considered to be one of his grandest designs. the shape of this service reflects the era in which it was created – an age concerned with the revival of historic styles. each glass is blown, cut, engraved and polished by hand and passes through several different sets of hands to ensure that every detail is exact. the result is a perfect balance of shape and function.
’the fascination about glass? it is one of the oldest materials mankind understood to shape. imagine: you melt some sand & look at the result.’-- ted muehling
the fascination for crystal has been the driving force behind lobmeyr for almost 200 years. through six generations the properties of crystal have been tested & researched and its handling & forming properties explored. whether it’s wafer thin muslin glass or glass that owes its shape to cutting – lobmeyr reinstates the beauty of this omnipresent material, bringing elegance & refinement back to everday life.
