Lismore was first created in 1952 by Chief Designer Miroslav Havel, who drew inspiration from the symmetry and Gothic forms of Ireland’s historic Lismore Castle. Its distinctive arrangement of diamond and wedge cuts has remained unchanged for more than seventy years.
Today, Lismore is presented through a fresh lens — styled for contemporary spaces while honouring the craftsmanship that shaped its past. Each piece reflects the same precision that defined the original pattern, now rediscovered in new contexts, new moments and new ways of living.
Lismore Castle, with its towers, arches and intricate stonework, inspired the geometry that defines the Lismore pattern. Havel translated these architectural details into a cut that has endured for generations. The pattern’s structure — balanced, rhythmic and unmistakable — continues to reflect its origins without the need for change. This campaign revisits that legacy, placing Lismore in settings where its familiar brilliance takes on new life. In sunlight, at the table or in everyday rituals, Lismore reveals fresh character when viewed through a modern perspective.
With its arrangement of diamond and wedge cuts, Lismore creates depth and clarity that shift with every angle of light. The precision of the cut gives the pattern its presence — structured yet fluid, traditional yet continually relevant. Up close, the geometry feels intricate; from afar, harmonious. This duality has made Lismore an enduring presence in homes around the world. As it moves into contemporary settings, the pattern reveals new dimension, capturing light in ways that feel both familiar and newly discovered.
Lismore is crafted not only to be admired, but to be used — raised in celebration, shared at the table or styled as part of the home. Made from lead-free crystal and shaped with Waterford’s enduring precision, each piece carries weight, brilliance and clarity. This collection fits naturally into modern life, offering timeless craftsmanship with a refreshed perspective. A design rooted in heritage, made for the moments we create today.
