Lobmeyr was already 60 years old when it collaborated with Thomas Edison on the first electric chandelier. Today, three cousins – Andreas, Leonid and Johannes Rath – run the family business, upholding the cutting and buffing techniques of their ancestors while collaborating with some of Europe’s most exciting contemporary designers, such as Josef Hoffmann and Sebastian Menschhorn. Lobmeyr is recognised for its ultra-thin muslin glass that’s hand blown by expert artisans in the Vienna workshop.
