Icons
Legendary Designs from the Bakalowits Archives
The Icons collection gathers the most celebrated creations in our 180-year history — crystal chandeliers and luminaires that have defined eras, adorned palaces and become enduring symbols of Viennese lighting artistry.
From Josef Hoffmann’s legendary Palm Chandelier to the monumental 17-metre chandelier of the Palace of the Parliament in Belgrade, these designs represent the pinnacle of handcrafted luxury lighting.
Each icon is available for bespoke reproduction or contemporary reinterpretation, crafted with the same techniques and devotion as the original.
