Megaron Spiral chandelier in a private mansion, Qatar

Lobmeyr Design From drawing board to ceiling With the turn of the millennium the chandelier returned to the mood boards of designers and architects as an important decorative item. Outlived were the ideas of lofty ceilings and empty spaces. Soon the emergence of the LED as a serious medium of illumination further kindled the spark of a new implicitness of chandeliers.

Megaron Spiral Series Stefan Rath, 2003 A wonderful example of a design that stems from a specific project. It was developed by Stefan Rath who was strongly inspired by the location: It adorns the main spiral staircase at the Megaron of Music Concert Hall in Athens.

David Collins Chandelier David Collins, 2006 David Collins Studio London approached us to execute a stunning design for a Villa on the Côte d‘Azur in 2006.

Ripple Lamp Poetic Lab, 2013 Ripple is a moving light piece that expresses the beauty of the material glass, celebrating the process of its making. Each Ripple set consists of a large rotating projection dome and a smaller lighting dome ensconcing the light source, a single 20 Watt G4 halogen bulb. A beam of light projects from the lighting dome through both walls of the mouth-blown unevenly shaped projection dome that gently rotates. This creates a play of shadow and light in an ever changing, moving ripple pattern – beauty that goes beyond the material itself. Essentially Ripple is an...
