Lobmeyr, the Viennese crystal house with roots stretching back centuries, has unveiled a collaboration with Dutch design duo BCXSY at the formax Omotesando showroom in Tokyo. The MUTA collection marks a convergence of European crystalline refinement and contemporary Dutch minimalism, bringing together the meticulous craft of hand blown glass with restrained, sculptural form.
The collection’s signature pieces are perfume bottles of crystalline clarity, their geometric vessels crowned with stoppers that balance faceted glass against brushed brass bases. Each stopper combines a geometric crystal head with black lacquered detailing, creating a small punctuation of sophistication. The brass cylindrical bases ground the pieces with warm metallurgical restraint, their satin finish contrasting with the translucent brilliance above. Arranged in graduated heights across a pale stone surface, the bottles read as a composition: gold, black, and crystal harmonising without fanfare.
The collaboration extended beyond fragrance vessels to encompass dining tables and serving boards, all released simultaneously following the Design Art Tokyo 2026 presentation that closed on 8 November. The Dutch designers’ philosophy of essential form met the Austrian glasshouse’s uncompromising technical precision, resulting in pieces that eschew decoration in favour of proportion and material integrity.
The MUTA collection continues on display at the formax Omotesando showroom, where visitors may examine the clarity of the crystal and the weight of the brass, understanding how luxury dwells not in excess but in the purity of each element.
