Lobmeyr -
ballerina collection by paul wieser for lobmeyr
the idea of 'enjoying the lightness of life on tiptoe' is the feeling the ballerina drinking set conveys. designed in 1992 by paul wieser, he used guidelines that were drawn up by sommeliers to help create glasses that have the perfect bowl shape for whatever wine they hold. their light & delicate shape ensures that the user will hold them carefully, cherishing both the wine & the glass that holds it. 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.
