oswald haerdtl, one of the most versatile architects during the first half of the 20th century, closely worked together with lobmeyr. one of the highlights of their combined creativity is seen is the remarkable design of the ambassador series, which won at the 1925 art deco exhibition in paris. the material is very fine (muslin) glass that is mouthblown in wooden molds. named after the finely woven french fabric, muslin glass is crystal blown to a thickness of only .7 – 1.1 mm. it appears delicate, but is remarkably resilient thanks to its inner elasticity & formal construction. the glasses are blown, cut, engraved and polished by hand to ensure that every detail is exact. made from lead-free crystal.

’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.
