Glashütte Lamberts

Glashütte Lamberts is a medium-sized family glassmaking business based in Waldsassen, Germany, producing mouth-blown and hand-finished flat glass in more than 5000 different colours and textures. The company describes itself as a glass manufactory operating since 1906, with around 70 employees, and its LambertsGlas® portfolio serves historical restorations and state-of-the-art design projects for architects and interior designers. Production follows traditional methods: glass is smelted from sand, soda and lime, coloured, blown into balloons, formed into cylinders, reheated and shaped into sheets, yielding glass with small air bubbles and an uneven surface. In 2023 the traditional hand-blown flat glass production method was recognised by UNESCO as intangible world cultural heritage.
