The artist Eva Petric’s main materials are intangible: Light and shadow. As such, it was quite natural for her to collaborate with Lobmeyr on our 200-year anniversary to take her materials of choice and have them transcend time and history. Selecting historical lanterns from over 400 years of history, she applied her signature graphic style onto the glass panes of these lanterns. Now these fixtures not only fulfil their function as light fixtures, they also cast the shadows into their space, transcending space and time.

This lantern is a historic design from around 1840, a Biedermeier classic. It has been decorated with engravings and hand-painted patterns in a colour matching the frame.
