The frame of the fixture is made from brass and carefully polished by hand to be covered in a nickel finish. This is then decorated with multiple sputnik elements, the wooden balls with the Swarovski crystals that became a landmark of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. This design is a perfect addition to the...

Pendant Lamp 42470-6 "Mini-Sputnik" The Metropolitan Family The chandeliers we delivered for the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1966 became icons of lighting design. As we took care of the restoration of the chandeliers of the Met in 2008 and about 1.000 pieces of sputniks have been through our hands we realised how lovely those elements were. So our craftsmen had the idea to create small lighting fixtures from these elements and started tinkering. Finally we arrived at a working object resembling a complete Metropolitan Chandelier in a very small scale. The sputnik element as main...

Lantern 4200-3 The Historism Family Theophil Hansen, one of the most prominent architects of the “Ringstraßen Period” designed this lantern for a mansion he built around 1875. The lantern is made with utmost care and precision not relying on simplifying techniques. So for example the decoration on the decorative beading is not made from pressed sheet metal but with additional brass rods screwed on the material. The floral designs on the bottom and on top are elaborately cast and refined on our workshop. Design: Theophil Hansen, circa 1875; Historism Material: Brass Finish: Gold Special...

Chandelier 41201-20 "Medina" The Arabic Family For the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina we again drew from traditional motives to create a series of different fixtures, ranging from the main chandeliers to small pendants. This chandelier bears the typical satellite elements of large frosted glass vessels decorated with traditional motives as well as quotations of the Quran. The blue inscriptions are complemented by blue glass balls on the suspending rods. This common feature serves as a kind of bracket to unite all the different fixtures. The main Belt is made of cast brass plates with elaborate...
