J. & L. Lobmeyr is an Austrian crystal and glassware manufacturer founded in 1823 by Joseph Lobmeyr in Vienna. The company quickly became purveyor to the Imperial and Royal Court of Austria-Hungary and has maintained its reputation as one of Europe's most prestigious glassmaking houses for over two centuries. Lobmeyr remains a family-owned business, now in its sixth generation, operating from its historic flagship store and atelier on Karntner Strasse in the heart of Vienna. The company is renowned for producing some of the world's finest and thinnest hand-blown crystal, with Muslin Glass pieces weighing as little as 45 grams.

Lobmeyr's home decor offerings include crystal chandeliers, drinking glasses, decanters, vases, bowls, and decorative objects. The brand's chandeliers represent perhaps its most iconic product category, with installations in the Vienna State Opera, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Each chandelier is individually designed and hand-assembled using thousands of precisely cut crystal components. The drinking glass and barware collections, including designs by Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, and Stefan Rath, represent milestones in Viennese modernist design. All Lobmeyr glass is still blown, cut, engraved, and polished entirely by hand in workshop facilities in Vienna.

Lobmeyr's retail presence centers on its Karntner Strasse flagship, which also functions as a museum of the company's two-century heritage, alongside distribution through select luxury retailers internationally. The company produces both historical reissues and contemporary designs, collaborating with architects and designers such as Ted Muehling, Marco Dessi, and Sebastian Menschhorn. Crystal stemware and home accessories start at approximately $80 per piece, while hand-cut crystal decanters and larger decorative objects range into the thousands. Bespoke chandeliers for private residences and institutional commissions can reach well over $100,000, with each project requiring months of design and fabrication.
