J&L Lobmeyr Vienna

Top choice in Vienna


Reached by a beautifully ornate wrought-iron staircase, this is one of Vienna’s most lavish retail experiences. The collection of Biedermeier pieces, Loos-designed sets, fine/arty glassware and porcelain on display here glitters from the lights of the chandelier-festooned atrium. Lobmeyr has been in business since 1823, when it exclusively supplied the imperial court.

Today production is more focused towards pieces inspired by the Wiener Werkstätte artists from the early 20th century. This movement sought to bring a philosophy of artistic craftsmanship into functional design, later helping pave the way for art deco.
