Birds on Loos

Price On Request This tumbler set is a collaborative effort between Austrian glass manufacturer J. & L. Lobmeyr, engraver Pavlína Čambalová, and photographer Andrew Zuckerman. The iconic glass tumblers, from a bar set entitled "Drinking Set No. 248," were designed by architect Adolf Loos in 1931\\.
