Carl Auböck
For more than 100 years, the Auböck family has stood at the forefront of the Wiener Werkstätte traditions, passing on know-how from one generation to the next. In 1919, Carl Auböck II was one of the first students to attend the Bauhaus, spearheading the modern approach that Carl Auböck IV continues to build on today. He works in the same workshop in Vienna where the original brass moulds remain, dreaming up playful designs of outstanding quality. Family traditions and rare craftsmanship are heard in every piece, from witty brass sculptures to rare finds from a mid-century stint with Ostovics Culinar.

Carl Auböck
After years at the forefront of the Bauhaus and Wiener Werkstätte traditions, Carl IV still works in the same atelier with the original brass moulds. He has modernised the hand-worked desk sets with input from designers like Michael Anastassiades, yet the handmade ethos remains.
