Brand Highlight

Carl Auböck

Carl Auböck II (1900-1957) is one of the most extraordinary personalities of Austrian modernism. After working as an apprentice bronze worker and engraver for his family business in the early 1900′s he went on to be a student of Johannes Itten, a Swiss expressionist painter and designer, at the Bauhaus in Weimar. Once graduated he took over his father’s workshop and in the early 40′s he developed a very particular style which many consider modernist, in fact he became the face of Austrian modernism.

Carl Auböck

Taking over his father's metal smith business in 1929, Carl Auböck II created iconic sculptural, yet functional objects with a whimsical appeal. Known for his witty approach, at times he would disguise the actual use of his objects by their form, such is the case with a large skeleton key that unscrews to reveal a corkscrew, or an over sized brass paperclip.
