O Bookends
The Viennese workshop of Carl Auböck combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design. A metal workshop founded in the 19th century, Carl Auböck is still situated in its original premises in Vienna, with the fourth generation of the family now at the helm. The company is famous for the modernist designs designed in the 1950s by one of the best-known figures of Austrian modernism Carl Auböck II (1900–1957). Made from solid brass, the O bookends were made from his original cast and feature a flowing shape with a beautiful mix of deep patina and polished brass geometry; a characteristic of his sought-after work.
