Design KIM+HEEP for J&L Lobmeyr Vienna Austria
Books were written on the color of tea – so why hide it?
The Middle East has a long tradition of using glass vessels for tea; Lobmeyr
produced numerous teas and punch mugs in the 19th century. Lobmeyr knew that
their thin, lead-free crystal can bear mechanical strain, but KIM+HEEP proved
in impressive tests, that it is also extremely resistant to changes in
temperature. The design team developed a well-balanced and functional shape
that blends harmoniously into Josef Hoffmann’s “Patrician” series. A wonderful
set to refine the moment of a joyful sip! 2013 the series has been completed by
the Lily Teacup and Saucer.
