New, original 1925 design
The "Mousselin" series is comprised of four designs from a collection Oswald Haerdtl designed for the "Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes".
One hundred years ago, the Lobmeyr exhibition at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1925 thrilled visitors with its incredibly fine glassware. The event was formative for the Art Deco style, as only objects of a new style were allowed to be shown. The Grand Prix for glass went to Lobmeyr. Josef Hoffmann, Oswald Haerdtl and Oskar Strnad, who were responsible for the success of the presentation, were inspired by the ground-breaking drinking service no. 4 designed by Ludwig Lobmeyr in 1854. Their design classics in filigree muslin glass had a strong impact on glass culture until today.
The Lobmeyr archive contains over 100 Haerdtl drawings from that time, which celebrate the lightness of the marvelous and flowing material glass. Around 20 drawings were made for the 1925 exhibition and are still kept in the Lobmeyr archive. There is also an exchange of letters between Stefan Rath (Lobmeyr) and Leo Moser (Moser Crystal), who produced the objects at the time.
All lead-free crystal. Hand wash.
