In 1823, Josef Lobmeyr opened a small glass shop off Karnterstrasse in the city centre of Vienna. Within two years business was flourishing and in 1835 the first large table service was delivered to Emperor Ferdinand. Lobmeyr eventually became purveyor to the Imperial Court of Vienna. The company also made table settings and chandeliers for the Schonbrunn Castle.
Today Lobmeyr works with fabulous designers such as Ted Muehling, an American jeweller based in New York. Muehling has the ability to translate his beautiful designs into any medium, be it precious metal, porcelain, glass or wood. He turns what would normally be an everyday object, such as a tea strainer or spoon, into something strikingly jewel like. Muehling's philosophy is “In this technological age, we can still be charmed and touched by the delicacy of a cup”.
