Hoffmann Palm Chandelier with 15 lights
Popular :
Palm tree chandelier after Josef Hoffmann. Bronze and crystal.
Mathieu Lustrerie reissue.The beginning of the 20th century was enlightened by an abundance of light and a fascination with electricity, as shown by the success of the Electricity Palace, still considered today as the highlight of the Universal Exhibition of 1900. The palm tree chandelier is marked by the disappearance of the candle and the arrival of the bulb, subtly hidden under the crystals. The end of the need for an arm to support the candle allows for innovation in form, a playful moment for all creators.
The first existing model was created from a sketch scribbled on a napkin at the König von Ungarn Hotel in Vienna, Austria, by Joseph Hoffmann. Ludwig Bakalowits is part of the large family of Viennese crystal chandelier producers and came to commercialize Hoffmann's idea. He joined forces with the dean of the Vienna School of Applied Arts to jointly guide their productions in a four-handed partnership between artists and craftsmen. Hoffmann considered the chandelier to be an art object in its own right: a source of attraction and wonder. This chandelier produced in cast brass and crystal illustrates the emergence of a seamless collaboration between artisans and artists in a floral art nouveau style.
Lustre Palmier d’après Josef Hoffmann. Bronze et cristal. Réédition Mathieu Lustrerie. Le début du XXème siècle est marqué par un foisonnement de la lumière et une fascination pour l’électricité comme l’a montré le succès du Palais de l’électricité, considéré encore aujourd’hui comme le « clou » de l’exposition universelle de 1900. Le lustre palmier est marqué par une disparition de la bougie et l’arrivée de l’ampoule qui vient se dissimuler sous le cristal. La fin d’une nécessité d’un bras venant soutenir la bougie permet d’innover dans la forme. Le premier modèle existant a été créé à partir d’un croquis griffonné sur une serviette de l’hôtel König von Ungarn à Vienne, en Autriche, par Joseph Hoffmann. Ludwig Bakalowits, qui fait partie de la grande famille de producteurs de lustres en cristal viennois, commercialise l’idée d’Hoffmann. Il s’associe avec le doyen de l’École des Arts appliqués de Vienne pour orienter ensemble leurs productions dans un quatre mains entre artistes et artisans. Hoffmann considérait le lustre comme un objet d’art à part entière : une source d’attraction et d’émerveillement. Ce lustre produit en laiton coulé et en cristal illustre l’émergence d’une collaboration transparente entre artisans et artistes dans un style art nouveau floral.
