Emil Stejnar, Rupert Nikoll
Austrian, b. 1939 It’s not often that one résumé can include hermetic magician, astrologer, gold and silversmith and lighting designer. It’s fair to say that Austrian Emil Stejnar may be the only one to claim all of the skills above. The clamor for mid-century modern design has been at a fever pitch since, well, pretty much the mid-twentieth century.
Austrian The Rupert Nikoll lighting company’s biggest claim to glory came from producing work by the skilled Austrian jeweler and lighting designer Emil Stejnar. He designed several lighting and mirror pieces for the Austrian company. Stejnar had a penchant for symmetrical, rounded forms, often emulating starbursts or floral blossoms in his designs. Very little information is recorded about the Rupert Nikoll lighting company or its namesake.
