in 1910 & 1914 josef hoffmann designed a series of splendid goblets for lobmeyr. the precise cutting of the goblet takes the craftsman to the edge of his abilities. in addition, the hand-polishing takes three steps and has to be done carefully so it doesn’t take away from the crisp lines. this piece was presented at cologne in 1914 and has been sold at the stores of the wiener werkstätte.
’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.
