The Vienna Furniture Museum is based on the former Hofmobiliendepot, administra-tive facility for the furniture of imperial households. As early as 1747, Maria Theresa appointed the first royal furniture inspector, and Emperor Franz Joseph had the impe-rial furniture depot founded in around 1900. The core of the collection is imperial fur-niture, which over the years has been supplemented by important exhibits docu-menting the evolution of our living culture up to the present day. The museum also features several historically important Lobmeyr products, including a mirror made for the imperial pavilion of the Vienna World’s Fair in 1873, one of the first electric chandeliers in Europe that hung in the Vienna Hofburg, and a private box lamp from the Sophiensäle, one of Vienna’s most renowned ballrooms. The chandeliers for the Sophiensäle were one of Lobmeyr’s first commissions after the Second World War; though they demonstrate the widespread lack of materials dur-ing that era, they illuminated hundreds of balls until a fire razed the building in 2001. The exhibition “Finer Dining. Amboss Design & Dining Culture 1950–1970”, which runs until 16 April 2023, shows a table set by Lobmeyr with glassware designed by Oswald Haerdtl and Hans Harald Rath, along with an Augarten service by Ursula Klasmann.
