Bakalowits Söhne, Vienna, brass opal glass, Loetz lampshades, ca. 1901 Before Koloman Moser became involved with the Wiener Werkstätte, he designed various decorative objects of all kinds for several Viennese companies – book covers, toys and even lighting fixtures. He started creating the latter as early as 1899 for the successful Viennese glass editor E. Bakalowits Söhne. In 1901, Moser designed several so-called “Penden”, which were lamps suspended from ceiling plates by cables, adorned with decorative elements. The size of the ceiling plate, the number of suspended lighting elements, and the decorative elements could be varied almost arbitrarily. There are ceiling plates with up to thirteen outlets. Metal discs, opal-colored spheres, or glass rods were attached to the cables. Koloman Moser himself used several four-armed Penden to furnish his own apartment.
